If you've ever wondered why China makes up such a large percentage of the production of rare earth minerals:

"The US stopped their mining operations in part because of the immense pollution from the practices to extract these rare earths. However, China did not waver but rather increased their production levels. This has caused lasting damage to the villages surrounding the factories."

It’s also made them one of the fastest growing economies and a growing threat to the world. That’s the true dilemma of planetary stewardship imo. How do we do the right thing, without reducing the standards of living mankind has worked for thousands of years to achieve?
