In this letter, the author argues that pollution and environmental disaster result from the CCC's mining plans can be prevented by boycotting the products that are made with the company's copper.A number of assumptions have been made about the usage of all the land that company purchased, the inevitablity of the pollution and environmental disruption, and the feasibility of boycotting. We need to examine the assumptions carefully in order to assess the argument.
To begin with, the assumption that the company will mine copper in a range covering most of the land it purchased may not hold true.After all, 10,000 square miles of land is too enormous for a mining plan. It's quite possible that CCC will choose a little piece of land to carry out the mining program. And perhaps the proper land for mining takes only a little percentage of the overall land. In this case, those endangered animals may inhabit outside the mining areas, and the environmental influence of this plan would not be so intolerable to implement a boycott.
