Electric Cars.

Read an article about lithium mining about six years ago now. I specifically remember the time frame as some smart @rse at work was gabbling on about his next car and how good it would be for the environment if everyone changed from fossil fuels. Basically I pointed out that lithium mining and the chemical cocktails used to extract lithium are highly toxic and can seriously damage both local water tables and the wider environment. Lithium extraction was utterly filthy back then. No idea whether methods have changed but I doubt it. What's gained on one hand is largely taken away by the other. It's worth bearing in mind the array of technologies which are largely dependent on lithium extraction.

Read an article a while ago about an extremely noxious material used in wind farms that was many 1000's times more harmful to the environment than CO2.

I try to be responsible in my own small way but there are no easy options.
