Mining Here and Elsewhere: Who Has to Sacrifice? Author Talk, Local Panel and Community Conversation
Description
Will a green energy system mean a cleaner, healthier planet? It depends. All energy – even wind, solar, and e-cars –requires mining: cobalt, lithium, copper, aluminum, rare earth elements. Where do these minerals come from, and what are the effects of mining on the earth and its inhabitants?
Come explore the questions and dilemmas raised by our modern lifestyles and discover how you can stand up for environmental justice in the face of Big Mining. 9:30-10 a.m. – Meet and greet 10-11:15 a.m. – Award-winning journalist Nicolas Niarchos (" The Elements of Power: A Story of War, Technology, and the Dirtiest Supply Chain on Earth " ) presents on his research in the Democratic Republic of Congo where lives are lost and human rights are trampled in the quest for precious minerals.
