Minerals continue to be dug up to meet greater and greater demands of technology (including "green" transition), a process that destroys the environment and spreads pollution. These mineral deposits are getting harder and harder to find and larger and larger amounts of earth have to be dug up to produce ores, so each unit of ore results in larger and larger amounts of waste on top of the increasing number of units needed to meet demand.
It's a huge toxic spiral spreading pollution and destruction everywhere.
