I do not usually write posts like this, but I find this issue quite disconcerting and thought I should raise more awareness about it. Please note that there is a petition at the end of this post in case you would like to do something.
Recently while looking through my WordPress reader, I stumbled upon a post about an archaeological site in Afghanistan.
The clock is running out for Mes Anyak, a 2000 year old archaeological site near Kabul in Afghanistan. In 2014 it will be destroyed by a Chinese copper mine, which will also make the land toxic. Please read the enlightening blog from Anarya Andir and consider signing the petition at the end of it. This should be stopped.
