ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP)

The growing list of jewelers vowing to boycott gold from a proposed Alaska mine now includes major manufacturers of class rings.

Herff Jones and Commemorative Brands Inc., both of which make class rings, have joined the list of jewelers opposed to the proposed Pebble Mine in southwest Alaska. The mine is estimated to contain hundreds of billions of dollars worth of copper, gold and molybdenum, but would be built near some of the world's most productive wild salmon streams.

1. Good for the jewelers. Now if other industries would join them.

This kind of action has to be international and span several industries.

The fishing industry is already suffering from pollution, climate change, and overfishing. Fish are an important food source. The world cannot allow this kind of mining, which is already causing major pollution of water resources, to take place.

2. They have their priorities in order.

You can't eat copper, gold and molybdenum. But Salmon....
