Towards a Long-Term Balance Between
Economics and Environmental Protection
Chapter concentrates on economic approach to the problems of
mine wastes and dredged materials, We stress the existence
oftrade-offs between economics and environmental protection, in
this chapter use the notion of entropy to come to grips with this
aspect and to try to develop a physically-oriented production theory.
entropy can also be a measure of the tendency of a process,
whether the process tends to be "entroped" or will take place in a
certain direction.

This entropy is defined as randomness, disorder, chaos or inefficiency that the

process takes place.
If a system has reached a very high level of disorder (entropy), then the heat
in this system can no longer turn into work (movement), then this system will
stop, so will the universe, as well as what is also called the "heat of natural
death universe
 Extracting a mineral from the environment produces a concentrate and a waste material.
Extraction decreases the concentration of the resource in the environment. Labour and capital inputs
required to extract one unit of a resource depend on its concentration, which declines with increased
accumulated extraction of a resource.

Develop a model which can

be applied more directly to
the problems of mine
wastes and dredged
materials.

Resources and Environment, This section sketches a resource and environmental model
and outlines its main results regarding intertemporally optimal prices and waste disposal.
