Gold has been mined in the Andes for centuries, with mining activity dating as far back as the Incas. People in La Rinconada hike for 30 minutes every day to reach the mines, which are filled with hazardous gasses, mercury, cyanide, and a lack of oxygen.

and then you are told you have to reduce your climate footprint by not buying this or that or not doing this or that.... and there are literally thousands places like this one around the world.

Yeah.... Slight difference though between most of us able to even see this and people living like this. We have the option and the possibility to make better choices. People like this are just trying to survive day by day. They live in a place not connected to adequate facilities, have no government to help them, and no knowledge or time to reduce their waste while working their a$$ off for almost nothing in return. They don't HAVE the option to make better choices. We do.
