Never forget how every powerful person in this country became tyrannical big pharma salesmen at the drop of a dime.

Even if this is achieved (consider me skeptical), it does NOTHING to repair 15 years of destruction of the people and environment of the DR Congo for cobalt.

This is the colonial mentality - pillage the people and resources of the global south, and leave behind an apocalypse when you move on.

Are the people of Africa still so disposable to the kings perched atop the global economic order?

As one Duke grad to another - @tim_cook, I am here if you ever want to work on a more decent and sustainable approach to “taking nothing from the earth,” which surely means repairing the enormous violence @Apple has participated in during this scramble for cobalt.

You have to do it.

When car companies advertise their shiny new EVs during the #superbowl today, none of them will mention the destroyed environment and people of the DR Congo at the bottom of their cobalt supply chains. #cobaltred

[Dr Siddharth Kara @siddharthkara]

As automakers gather at #CES2023 to proudly announce their newest models of EVs, I wonder how much time they will spend discussing that this is the kind of hellscape from which the cobalt in their batteries is mined?

There are thousands of babies in the DRC strapped to their mother's backs, inhaling toxic cobalt dust all day.

This teenager is putting her infant for a nap in a cardboard box, so she can clamber into a trench to scavenge for the cobalt that powers our lives.

[Dr Siddharth Kara @siddharthkara]

Everyday countless children in the DRC stand in toxic pools of water to sieve dirt and rubble from cobalt pebbles, one sack of which will earn them around a dollar per day from the traders who sell the cobalt to big mining companies.

I am deeply honored and grateful that "Cobalt Red" is on the @nytimes list of 10 Books to Watch for in Jan 2023. The voices of the Congolese people WILL be heard.

And everyone listening should know this - I will not stop pushing until this Congo injustice is set right.

[ZUBY: @ZubyMusic]

This latest Joe Rogan Experience podcast is heavy...

If you have a smartphone or electric vehicle (that's 100% of you) then I strongly recommend listening to it.

Thanks for investigating this topic @siddharthkara

@siddharthkara @joerogan @coldxman

[Dr Siddharth Kara @siddharthkara]

When in fact nothing could be further from the truth. Is it too much to ask that these companies send teams to the Congo to do the actual work of treating their cobalt miners with dignity, and to ensure the environment of the Congo is not treated like a toxic dumping ground?(2/2)

[Dr Siddharth Kara @siddharthkara]

When @joerogan graciously invited me to be on his podcast, I wasn't sure what to expect.

He posted our conversation in episode #1914 one week ago, and millions of people have since learned about the new horror in the Congo - cobalt mining.

Change is inevitable.

[Dr Siddharth Kara @siddharthkara]

About 3000 people, including hundreds of children, scrounge for cobalt in this broad artisanal mining zone just outside an industrial mining concession (in background). All the artisanal cobalt is sold via intermediaries to industrial mines. There is no "clean cobalt" here.

@EarnYourLeisure #SiddharthKara sheds an impactful light on the double bottom line. Please listen to his interview #1914 on JRE
