Welcome to Lemmy.fan!

This instance succeeds on one simple mantra: Be kind, and do unto others as you have done to yourself. Consider for a moment that we’re ALL on the the same rapidly-spinning, mostly-watery orb, hurtling through space at fantastic speeds, and trading metal and paper for our livelihoods. The unknown will always dwarf the known. Learning never ends. We may be experts in something, but no one person is an expert in all things.

Given that, here our are very simple

AI Summary:
Across Harare, thousands live off scrap metal. Quietly, they are helping to sustain a cleaner environment and combat climate change. Making steel relies heavily on burning highly polluting coal. It takes less energy to turn scrap metal into new steel. Informal pickers are the “unsung heroes,” says Joyce Machiri, head of the mining and extractives program at the Zimbabwe Environmental Lawyers Association. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimates that recycling steel and tin cans saves 60% to 74% of the energy required to produce them from raw materials. Factories in southern africa consume about 600,000 tons of scrap metal annually. Hunters rise before dawn, walking kilometers to scavenge from landfills, industrial zones, homes and roadside dumps. Some sleep near illegal dumpsites, waiting for trucks that unload waste overnight to avoid arrest.
