       The Longest Running US Oil Spill You've Never Heard Of
       --- Quote ---
       > When Hurricane Ivan knocked over an offshore oil platform off
       the coast of Louisiana in 2004, oil started leaking into the
       Gulf of Mexico. The company that owned the platform went
       bankrupt and never had the well capped. It wasn't until 15 years
       later that the US Coast Guard hired Timmy Couvillion to use his
       specially designed containment device to start collecting the
       leaking oil. But to this day, the leak continues from America's
       longest running oil spill.

       What The Rubber ‘Apocalypse’ Means For The U.S. Economy

       odds: climate change, disease and the fight for shipping
       containers. The global rubber market was valued at nearly $40

       Rubber tires — a dirty business
       --- Quote ---
       > The booming global tire market is worth billions - but this
       comes at a high price, both to humans and the environment. Over
       50 million car tires are sold each year in Germany alone. But
       where does the natural rubber for them come from?
       >
       > The biggest producer of natural rubber for tires is Thailand.
       More than four million tonnes of rubber are harvested annually
       in plantations there. And demand for rubber is ever growing -
       because ever more tires are needed. But the labor conditions in
       Southeast Asia are harsh - with working days of up to 12 hours
       and very low wages. In addition, toxic herbicides banned in
       Europe are used to fight weeds on the plantations. After the
       harvest, the ‘white gold’ rubber is sold to brokers, who, in
       turn, sell it on. German tire manufacturers, like Continental,
       for example, are keen to stress that they use "natural
       commodities conscientiously.” But many car drivers don’t give a
       second thought about where the rubber in their tires comes from
       - and why we don’t recycle used tires more effectively.

       Why A Looming Copper Shortage Has Big Consequences For The Green
       Economy
       --- Quote ---
       > Copper prices have surged in 2021. The base metal remains in
       high demand, much thanks to its need in green energy projects
       and electric cars. In May 2021, commodities analysts at Goldman
       Sachs called copper ‘the new oil.’ That’s because electric cars
       need several times more copper than their gas-powered
       counterparts. And power grids getting electricity from wind,
       solar and hydro sources also need copper—much more than the
       industry is currently producing. Here’s how copper became so
       important to the world economy and the green energy revolution.

       How a Sovereign Group in Jamaica Is Fighting a US Mining Company
       --- Quote ---
       > Jamaica was once the world’s leading exporter of bauxite,
       which is the ore from which aluminum is made, but decades of
       mining have taken a toll on the land and the people. With
       reserves depleted, the government is now pushing to move mining
       operations into the most ecologically sensitive part of the
       island known as Cockpit Country. The people of Cockpit Country
       fought off the British in the 1700s and now they're conjuring
       the warrior spirit of their ancestors to take that fight to the
       mining companies.
