What do you do with your ring?

[Anonymous]

My mother gave me her diamond from my dad (set into a necklace) as a wedding gift. They divorced when I was 7.

You do realize you threw away metal right? One of the world's most precious resources, usually gold.

Not only did you throw away something valuable that you could have sold, you contaminated water.

Next time (in the U.S. second divorces are far more common than not), pawn it at least.

Give a hoot, don't pollute.

How does that contaminate water? Gold is a naturally occurring metal. She was just putting it back in the earth where it came from.
