Ways to conserve too much mining and quarrying for the porpuse of getting precious metals and stones and gravel?

To conserve resources and reduce the environmental impact of mining and quarrying for precious metals, stones, and gravel, we can implement recycling programs to reclaim materials from used products. Additionally, promoting the use of alternative materials and technologies can lessen the demand for newly mined resources. Encouraging sustainable mining practices, such as reducing land disturbance and using less invasive extraction techniques, can also help protect ecosystems while still allowing for resource extraction. Finally, enforcing stricter regulations and promoting responsible sourcing can ensure that mining practices are more sustainable.
