I just finished Cobalt Red by Siddharth Kara. It tells the story of the horrible conditions in which cobalt miners work in the Congo. Cobalt is used in the batteries of all the rechargeable devices that power our economy. People at every level are complicit in the exploitation of these and so many other workers. When we purchase rechargeable devices, we are complicit, too. So what do we do? I believe we must do something. #ModernSlavery #Cobalt #CobaltRed #Technology #Books

"Spend a short time the watching the filth-caked children of the Katanga region scrounge at the earth for #cobalt, and you would be unable to determine whether they were working for the benefit of [King] Leopold or a #tech company."

"Child labor, sexual assault, birth defects, abject poverty, workers buried alive: A new exposé on artisanal cobalt mining in the Democratic Republic of the Congo lifts the curtain on a nightmarish world in which billions of people are unwittingly complicit"

NPR Fresh Air interviewed Kara, who clarified that he's *not advocating for us to stop using mobile phones, laptops or EV. Rather, he argues that we are all implicated in the #ModernDaySlavery of #cobalt supply chains and therefore must push companies & governments to act.

"What you find in the Congo is a complete hellscape of utter human degradation, utter environmental destruction in this scramble to get #cobalt out of the ground and up the chain as quickly as possible."
