One thing Europeans can do is regarding the depletion of coal, of which Great Britain had a lot of, is to use green energy alternatives ie to coal-fired power plants (that is if Britain or the rest of Europe uses them) and follow the example of Ireland which uses a lot of wind turbines for power ie use a green alternative. Also, for forests that have been decimated as the forests in the Erzgebirge Mts of eastern Germany (by use of timber in underground mines in the past) is to plant new tree seedlings to restore the forests. Also, paper can be recycled in a big way to reduce the number of trees used to make original paper. Metals, like iron in steel can also be recycled as in the recycling of automobiles and also copper can be recycled to reduce the mining of these metals in Europe. Copper was or is mined in the famous Kuperscheifer deposit in Germany and iron ore occurs in the Scandinavian part of Europe.
