RE: Global Warming and Climate Change: Intrinsically connected... Doubly dangerous.
Yeah, that's what I mean. About 65% of cobalt to make batteries comes from Kongo where small children are being put to labor. It's the dark side nobody speaks of.
It's great to have a talk!
@bagofincome
Definitely great to talk about this stuff. Another is the cadmium in photovoltaic cells for solar power. No one considered what to do with them in the solar rush in California one the panels were used up.
What about pollution in China from smart phone/tablet development? Nothing says hypocrisy like texting about the environment on a device whose creation helps to harm it.
Ugh the Congo. That’s heartbreaking.
Great talk.
@scholaris
Yeah, it's sad, the pollution from technology. And I guess it will only get worse because I doubt we'll stop producing more smartphones and stuff.
Have a bright day!
