Mining lithium generally has a lower environmental impact compared to extracting oil. Lithium mining can cause some environmental issues, such as water usage and habitat disruption, but it typically produces fewer greenhouse gas emissions and pollution than oil extraction and refining.

What is worse for the environment smoking or flying?
Flying is much worse for the environment than smoking. Planes burn fossil fuel which releases carbon dioxide that has been hidden away for millions of years. This is what is causing global warming.Smoking releases carbon dioxide too, but it is carbon dioxide that was taken out of the atmosphere a few months ago when the tobacco was growing, so it is part of the earth's carbon cycle, and is not contributing to global warming.
Which method of mining is the most damaging to the environment?
Hydraulic mining techniques, used primarily in rain forests, blasting away at river banks, clearing floodplain forests, and using heavy machinery to expose potential gold-yielding gravel deposits is probably the most damaging. Gold is usually extracted from this gravel using a sluice box to separate heavier sediment and mercury for amalgamating the precious metal. While most of the mercury is removed for reuse or burned off, some may end up in rivers. The rain forest ecosystem is rather fragile - with most of the nutrients tied up in the plants that are uprooted and destroyed during the process. The remaining mud and gravel cannot support plant growth to any significant degree so the mined area remains desolate for a very long time after the mining operations move on. Adding the heavy metal pollution to this only makes it that much worse. Next in damage would probably be strip mining followed by acid leaching where the runoff from the leaching is a highly toxic solution of heavy metals and acids and the mined ground is incapable of sustaining plant growth unless the mining operation is willing to invest in bringing in fresh soil to replace what was stripped off. Even if they do, there is still the problem of the toxic runoff from the tailings piles generated from the mining and refining operations.
What effect do tidal waves have on people and the environment?
tidal waves effect people a lot because it can kill them and it will cause floods or even worse a tsunami . It has no effect on the environment because it is nature it is supposed to happen but the worse it could do is put all our vegetation under water ;)

Are Paxil Lithium and Loranzapam unsafe to take together?
I have found taking paxil and lithium together makes me feel much worse. The depression and panic attacks became much worse. I believe the paxil after 11 years of taking it stopped working and turned on me as my Bipolar 2 got worse, then taking the lithium enhanced the paxil thus compounding the issue. I am slowly getting off the paxil which is a nightmare but allowing me to avoid more extremes in the future. Paxil ahs turned out to be nasty drug with more side effects than you can imagine.

all people have, for the better or worse, intentionally or not
