[QUOTE="OzzyDigga, post: 167815, member: 3655"] Hey guys im a bit of a greenie byron bay hippy. lol, I think most prospectors do more good than bad to the environment. most greenie hippy folk around byron are easily influenced and tend to jump on the band wagon with what they think is a good cause without knowing the bigger pictiure. I think this is the usual situation with any issue greenies deal with. Prospectors are more intouch and a part of the environment i believe than most greens out there. I think highbanking is better for the environment as u dont need to run material directly back into the river, but rather onto a tailings pile which gets rid of turbidity. Also the modern prospector cleans up alot of trash , every prospector ive met hits the creeks for the love of getting out into untouched land, more so than the typical easily influenced over passionate greens out there. Some which u find camping in byron one week, sh:#!ing in the bushes around town, leaving heaps of rubbish, living like bums by choice, then jumping on the band wagon the next week to protest a cause they know nothing about... :/ I will always take my yabby pump out, though not my old copper one which left colour in my first ever pan lol :8 [/QUOTE]
