swarfendor437   14 #1 Posted April 10, 2019 https://www.washingtonpost.com/gdpr-consent/?destination=%2fgraphics%2fbusiness%2fbatteries%2fcongo-cobalt-mining-for-lithium-ion-battery%2f%3f&utm_term=.7dac8166c287 It appears that 60% of all the world's Cobalt supplies comes from the Congo, which is then shipped for processing in the far East and then the batteries produced shipped once more to where they are needed. So effectively buying a phone, a notebook and electric car effectively increases the world's carbon footprint and reinforces child slave labour. Quite disturbing reading. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
