Lying around at home and watching YouTube videos on a computer that is much more powerful than anything that humanity could build until recently. This progress and all the great devices that you take for granted would not be possible without rare and valuable raw materials such as terbium, neodymium or tantalum. The route these elements take from the earth to your smartphone is ugly. Mining is responsible for air and water pollution and destroys entire areas of land. Dangerous chemicals such as cyanide, sulfuric acid and chlorine are used to extract the mineral resources, threatening biodiversity and harming workers and residents.
