“They exist at the edge of human #life in an #environment that is treated like a #toxic dumping ground by foreign #mining #companies. Millions of #trees have been #clearcut, dozens of villages razed, rivers and air #polluted, and #arable land destroyed. Our daily #lives are powered by a #human and #environmental #catastrophe in the #Congo.”

In a world ravaged by #climatechange, humans have taken refuge underground. Oxygen Farmers, strong and determined young women, cultivate oxygen in a lush underground biodome, providing #cleanair in an otherwise toxic #environment. Humanity's last stand against the #polluted air. #SolarPunk #UndergroundPunk

“A mina contamina” is a show tells the story of a drop of rain water that becomes #polluted by #heavyMetals as it falls in and underground mine. The story is told dialogically, in a conversation between the drop and a White wagtail that is warned of the perils of drinking water from the #stream, learning about the processes of #acid #mine drainage and #bioaccumulation, but also of the human #greed and #unsustainability behind mining pollution.

Finding deformed fish and #polluted water here is a normal occurrence. And dozens of Fort Chip residents have succumbed to a rare strain of bile duct #cancer.
In April, Chief Adam testified to the release of millions of litres of #toxic tailings waste in two separate incidents involving Imperial Oil’s Kearl mine. Just weeks later, Suncor reported it had released almost six million liters of #contaminated #water into a tributary of the Athabasca River.
Earlier, he had predicted his community would become #environmental #refugees.

The global fossil fuel industry creates multiple such sacrifice zones, often geographically distant from each other, but linked together by global fossil fuel #supplychains.
