ER. sure, zink in itself is not 'toxic', and it is an important metal for its wide use, but it is also an abundant element and there are already many zinc producing mines throughout the world, some of which found in less ecologically delicate locals. From what I read, the proposed mine in the Nahanni Plateau would also be mining almost as much LEAD.

Now, to more suitable thoughts, for starters, I am looking forwards to Tahera's introductory performance!!
