  1. This is great news. The less mining for gold, the better for the environment. Gold is highly recyclable, it will never go out of fashion, and it's forever. People should sell their scraps of gold and unused jewelry instead of throwing it. Through this, not only do they earn cash, but they also help the environment by discouraging mines.
