I want to protect my environment, but I also need an economic boost, so I'm thinking about going with option number 3 on the Uranium Mining issue which says:

"There's no need for an either-or decision," says the government's Minister for Mining, Clear-Felling, and the Environment. "We can preserve most of the rainforest and allow mining of a small part. After all, think of all the good that the money from this uranium deposit can bring to Addisumbria."

**As opposed to the two other options: Destroy the whole rainforest to allow mining, or allow no mining at all.

Does anybody think this would NOT be the right decision for what I'm trying to do? I mean, is it actually going to help my ecomony?

I appreciate any help you could offer.

if you go with the option that doesn't do any mining at all, later your national pet over populates and get an issue where you can sell them on the market for profit

thats been my experience

You should be very careful with that issue. The third choice, despite claiming to take only a little forest, will actually result in massive deforestation and the acute endangerment of your national animal.

I'm just glad to know I can halt Uranium mining. :cool:
