#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.

Als Antwort auf Degrowth or Extinction • • •The image depicts an underwater scene with a large number of discarded aluminum cans scattered across the ocean floor. The cans are of various sizes and shapes, with some showing signs of wear and corrosion, indicating they have been submerged for a considerable time. The water is murky, with a greenish tint, suggesting the presence of algae or other organic matter. The seabed is visible, with a mix of sand and some rocky formations. The cans are densely packed, with some overlapping each other, creating a chaotic and polluted appearance. The image highlights the issue of marine pollution, specifically the accumulation of non-biodegradable waste in underwater environments.
