Environmental Problems b There aren’t really any environmental problems with gold, the one trait it does have though is that it isn’t affected by air or water.
My Assessment b I think that 20 years from now gold will be even rarer than it already is and so prices of anything that has gold in it will most likely be at a all time high.
