Rappel : les canettes en #alumium #acier se recyclent à l'infini, permettant d'en réduire son extraction naturelle dans la #terre. Jetées dans la #nature, elles mettent plusieurs siècles pour 'disparaître'.

#Aluminum is a ubiquitous material that promises ease and convenience. But the #extraction of its raw material, #bauxite, and its processing into aluminum destroy vast tracts of old-growth #forest. The energy-intensive production of aluminum typically relies on powerful #hydroelectric dams that often flood the lands of #Indigenous communities. Red mud, a #toxic waste product of aluminum refining, is a serious environmental hazard.

Fighting #Bauxite mines in #Odisha, Adivasis in Banteji say they face arrests, violence and harassment by police and company officials:

'The jungle and hills that surround them also sustain them, as they have done for hundreds of years, providing food, livelihoods, medicines, materials to build their homes and places to graze their animals. These mountains are also their gods.

'Yet under new plans, this verdant, untouched landscape of the Eastern Ghats will soon become home to a vast opencast mine to extract bauxite, the main material used to make aluminium. While demand for aluminium globally is at an all-time high, mining for bauxite is notoriously destructive to the environment and known for making areas virtually inhospitable: stripping away forests, poisoning and disrupting water supplies and generating huge amounts of dust and debris.'
