Far too many to list- your telephone alone contains 34 different minerals obtained by mining. In short, unless someone grew it, then it was dug out of the earth at some point. The cotton sheets on your bed were grown, but the steel bed frame was mined. The locks and hinges on the door, the wiring and pipes in the walls, the kitchen sink, the toilet, the most common wall covering (drywall, made of gypsum rock) the nails and screws that hold the boards together, the fiberglass shingles on the roof, the glass in the windows, the stove, refrigerator, microwave, TV, stereo, light bulbs, furnace- and the computer you are reading this on came from mining. Oh- one more- the electricity that powers your computer probably came from oil, coal, or uranium from mining. If it comes from a hydroelectric, wind, or solar system- they were built with materials obtained by mining. Please remember that if you hear someone claiming we should not mine anything.
