we are living through an #ExtinctionCrisis unlike anything in human history—over a million #species are at risk of disappearing in the coming decades. #ecosystems that have taken millions of years to evolve are unravelling before our eyes, driven by #HabitatDestruction, #climate chaos, #pollution, and endless #extraction. every species lost is a thread pulled from the web of life, and sooner or later, that web collapses. ⁠

#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.
