Blood Batteries – Cobalt And The Congo (lithium-ion)

Especially one child named Lukasa who gets up at 5 AM to work a 12-hour day for less than $9, hacking at ore by hand and carrying it on his back to a trading post an hour trek from the mine, before starting his two-hour walk back home.

Goes back in time a bit, but you don't see this mentioned anywhere. Out of sight out of mind?

the Responsible Cobalt Initiative last year, to bring companies together, including Apple, Samsung, HP and Sony, that agree to follow the OECD’s rules to eliminate child labor from their supply chains. Apple has begun a program to switch children from mining to new moneymaking skills.

Yeah. Shamed into it is the requisite statement I believe. Not the first time Apple have engaged in child labour sourced materials, is it? Token gestures mean nothing to these unfortunates.

Have you seen 'planet of the humans' (Michael Moore)? You should have if you care anything about what is right and honourable.

Jump to 36:55 to see these children, and all the devastation this 'green' revolution brings.
Only 20,500 views in almost 11 months is disgusting. Videos about someone's 'new pad' blow it away on numbers within days....

Yes, I've seen the fact checks.

“Planet of the Humans” plays a dangerous game by encouraging the belief that the environment needs to be protected from use by humans, as opposed to protected for use by humans, who remain inexorably a part of the nature of this planet.

Nonsense. Indeed, "protected for use by humans", is outright arrogance. The list of alleged 'fact checkers' at the bottom is shall we say, not inspiring. Nice try, but no cigar.

The only fact checking needed is common sense...
