While I don't deny anything you raise in this video it does very little to push forward the agenda on the environment. All you offer are criticisms and problems with no mention of solutions. We CANNOT keep using fossil fuels at the rate we have been if we want the earth to survive. So what do we do? I agree battery electric cars have their problems; the issue is not the vehicle itself but the way we go about producing it. For personal transport these are still the cleanest option we have until someone makes a hydrogen fuel cell car safe and effective.<br>We need to do more to lobby governments to invest in better mass transit - that is clean, efficient and minimises the use of these metals; this means putting up with overhead wires in our towns and cities in place of having battery electric busses. It also means investing in cleaner electricity.<br>We also though need to lobby for responsible sourcing of materials. Over the last 3-4 decades ethical farming has grown and practices like we currently see with rare metals mining has dramatically reduced from the produce industry (though sadly is still far too prevalent).<br>I could go on, fundamentally though we all need to think about how much we travel and whether we can reduce that as well as taking more trips by personal power - walking, cycling, heck even using roller-skates or a skateboard.<br>Good activism isn't just about levying criticism but also about promoting a better solution!
