Because those resources (any kind of ore, for instance) are not renewable and their sustainability is bound up with the law of supply and demand. Moreover, some kinds of extraction( fracking, for instance) pose a major threat to the environment, while others, which cause land subsidence,to name but one drawback of extraction, are used to engineer industrial processes that cause highly toxic pollution, and finally and perhaps unexpectedly because extraction of rare earth minerals, magnesium and other substances impoverish the earth around quarries, thereby impoverishing the quality of the foods that end up in our plate.

Why are ores bad to the environment 5 reasons?
It's not, mining it is. Ores are a natural part of the environment. The danger to the environment begins when "civilization" decides it needs the ores and will do almost anything to get them.
Is metal bad for the environment?
Metal can be harmful to the environment if not properly managed. Mining and processing metals can lead to habitat destruction, water and soil pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions. Recycling metal is important to reduce these negative impacts.

List some reasons why metal deposits in Antarctica are not considered to be ores?
Primarily because the cost of living, heating, energy, getting things to and from there, and so on are prohibitive. whereas if there were metal deposits in Alaska and they were say, near Juno, it wouldn't be so bad, because there is road transport, close food, fully powered electricity on the grid etc. whereas in Antarctica, there is no electricity on the grid, all electricity is generated using fuel generators, so there is a cost, getting metal from the ground costs more fuel, and you would have to be shipping fuel there on a daily basis to get the place afloat in general. that and Australia is the nearest continent and that is at least 2 weeks away by boat, not to mention getting the stuff across the ice to the boat in the first place.
Are fossil fuels good or bad for the environment?
Fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) release carbon dioxide, the greenhouse gas largely responsible for causing global warming.They are also responsible for acid rain through their emissions of sulphur and nitrous dioxides. Acid rain damages soil and trees, lakes and fish populations as well as corroding metal and buildings.They also cause air pollution, the haze that is common over big cities, causing asthma and breathing difficulties.So, yes, fossil fuels are bad for the environment.
