Synopsis
Iron-ore mining in Australia impacts everything; the economy, the jobs of people and represents the future of the new generations. But the environmental damage caused by the extraction, processing and transport of iron-ore is becoming more substantial. Without new solutions, the sustainability of iron-ore mining will slowly deplete.
