Mining Industry Boosts Australian Dollar

Eco Friendly, Eco Friendly Liquid Products, Environmental Cleaning ProductsIn a world where every nation is hit and is suffering from the global financial crisis, back home in Australia, there are a few industries which seem to be continually growing and doing much better in this economy than everyone else: engineering construction, including mining and related structures. Private capital expenditure rose by 12.3%, and this year “building and structures” is up 39.5% from last year. This is being spearheaded by the boom in resources, and just the mining capital expenditures are up 67% from last year. The Australian government expects the value of civil engineering and construction to increase by 29% this year, and by 23.5% next year. These are phenomenal numbers which have helped Australia to use her one flourishing resource, engineering construction and specifically, mining, to boost and stabilize the Australian dollar. Compared with November, the AUD is up 5.4% against the USD, 5.93% against the JPY, and 4.24% against the EUR. This is due to strong investment data coming in regarding the AUD. Copper and zinc are almost up by ten percent, which further increases mining interests. However, the rise in the value of the AUD may be due to limited supply of these other resources, like copper and zinc. The more limited the supply, the more value that material possesses.

In any area which is remaining strong during a shaky economic transition, private capital expenditure increases, and government subsidies tend to increase as well. In fact, these strong and resilient industries tend to be where individuals gather to find jobs, maintain job security, and where they build economic growth centers, such as cities, in order to keep that production high. That “building and structures” could have such a positive influence on the perceived value and strength of the Australian dollar is incredible. Any private investor or investment firm who sees this and realises it will be interested in sinking further capital into these industries or specific businesses, which will further stimulate the Australian economy and further increase the value of the AUD.

Psycho-analytics of the Green Mind

Industrial Hand Cleaner, Mineral Deposit Remover, Rust ConverterYou might be wondering how much environmentally friendly products are actually chosen by the consumer. Though eco friendly products have been marketed for over two decades, they have only recently begun to be widely accepted. Why is this?

Two studies researching behavioral patterns and reactions and consumer interaction with the eco friendly trade indicate that the concept was just too new. Although just about everyone was aware of the increasing deficiencies in environmental ethics, everyday consumers still used other factors added to environmentally friendly products to make their purchase decisions. Interestingly enough, the intent of both of these studies was to find out how much eco friendly characteristics of consumer products affected buying decisions, and the expectation was that the behavioral results would greatly assist marketing directors and advertising pools, but this was not the case.

Both of these studies were conducted in the late nineties, and you can see that the eco friendly nature of even the most insignificant, non-productive consumer product is of importance today, more than a decade later. Wealthy middle class and upper class households pride themselves on being able to afford the more expensive, more “alternative” methods of production. Government agencies with plenty of money to spend and no other goal in spending it than to preserve the self sufficiency of our planet are very interested in environmental safety and personal human safety. Regulations require the mining and transportation industries to conduct environmentally friendly business and this is a positive influence, since it would bring about greater consumer support.

Interestingly enough, eco friendly products are already priced similarly to non-green products. Businesses, like Envirosafe Solutions, which seek a competitive advantage look for ways to match competitors’ rates while remaining environmentally friendly. When this is the case, it is always good to see if they offer a money-back guarantee. Many consumers have been disillusioned by the fact that startup or early market eco friendly products are not as effective as their harsh chemical counterparts.

Envirosafe Solutions offers a full 30-day money-back guarantee and you have nothing to lose by testing out our completely eco friendly line of industrial cleaning products, fuel treatments, and soil treatments. Our prices are similar to those of our non-green competitors, and industries which are criticized for “perpetuating the petroleum business” are in need of some safe marketing deterrents.

Mining Industry Still Receiving Bad Press

Eco Friendly, Radiator Coolant, Dishwasher Rinse AidThe Association of Mining and Exploration Companies launched an advertisement campaign and already it is being thwarted by Lyne MP, Robert Oakeshott. He claims that the mining industry is “crying poor” amid a multimillion dollar advertising campaign, and that their voices will only generate newspaper revenue, but very little sympathy. The mining industry as a whole is sometimes given a bad rap because of external and incomplete impressions of industry practices, including impressions about their non-eco friendly practices or use of fuels. This is unfortunate, since mining companies everywhere contribute a great deal to our planet’s resources and to the health and wellbeing of citizens everywhere. What are some things that they could do to “clean up” their image?

Perhaps they could drop the justification act. If someone becomes defensive against an accusation, no matter how inaccurate the accusation may be, they are immediately tagged as “guilty” by casual observers. It is generally presumed that innocent people will not feel the need to defend themselves, since they have nothing to hide. Unless mining companies are practicing illicitly, in which case they would be found out anyway, they have nothing to hide and it may be in their best interests to refrain from “justifying” their actions.

Perhaps they could advertise better use of sustainable products. In all areas of mining, there are ways in which eco friendly products or actions can be utilized to promote sustainability. The earth is still giving up great amounts of resources for which we are mining, but bad press often follows poor environmental practices, or impressions of such. This means that the mining industry may find it useful to advertise environmentally friendly steps which they are taking.

Perhaps they could simply change their former industry standards. Since it is required to use earth friendly products and practices, it would be wise to research and investigate ways to implement biodegradable product usage and to leave as small of a carbon footprint as possible. Even if this practice is done in private, the truth always comes out. Images, consumer perceptions, and reputations are all based upon the truth that “leaks” out, rather than the facts which are readily available. Simply using environmentally friendly products and practices will change mass perception of the quality of this worthy industry.

Envirosafe Solutions offers cleaning liquids, degreasers, rust converters, and lubricants, all of which are eco friendly and offered with a money back guarantee: (+61) 1300 88 90 70.
