  13. In the capitalist global system, every purchase is an action the determines how much power we give as consumers to big corporations.

    And this current system is not working for people or the planet as we know it, but only amplifying the polycrisis (*insert* mourning in future tense).

    I made a radical switch from iPhone to Android after almost 8 years or so. I downloaded all my 155 GBs of pictures from icloud and unsubscribed to the cloud storage (for life), everything self-hosted—soon.

    I switched to not a very normal Android device, but surely a fairer one. Fairphone is one of the most repairable phones out there, designed in the Netherlands. Promoting users to repair their own devices actively, a phone that you own not the other way around. The two visible screws (Torx T5) on the back even encourages user to open it themselves.

    On the other hand, even a new EU mandate requires every smartphone sold in Europe including Apple devices to feature a battery that can be replaced by the user without specialist tools, without voiding a warranty, and without sending the device to a manufacturer approved service center.

    The designers and the team at Fairphone even went so far as to incorporate the map of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, sourcing conflict-free tin and tantalum from mines. FYI: The same mines that produced almost 50% of uranium oxide (i.e. 8.59 million kg) for the U.S. Manhattan Project.

  23. Bacteria helping to
    ❇️extract rare metals from old batteries
    ❇️in boost for green tech

    Scientists have formed an unusual new alliance in their fight against climate change -- 🔥They are using #bacteria to help them extract #rare #metals vital in the development of green technology.

    🆘 Without the help of these microbes, we could run out of raw materials to build turbines, electric cars and solar panels, they say.

    The work is being spearheaded by scientists at the University of Edinburgh and aims to
    👉 use bacteria that can extract lithium, cobalt, manganese and other minerals from old batteries and discarded electronic equipment. 👈

    These scarce and expensive metals are vital for making electric cars and other devices upon which green technology devices depend -- a point stressed by Professor Louise Horsfall, chair of sustainable biotechnology at Edinburgh.

    “If we are going to end our dependence on petrochemicals and rely on electricity for our heating, transport and power, then ⭐️we will become more and more dependent on metals,” said Horsfall.

    “All those photovoltaics, drones, 3D printing machines, hydrogen fuel cells, wind turbines and motors for electric cars require metals – many of them rare – that are key to their operations.”

    ♦️Politics is also an issue, scientists warn.
    #China controls not only the main supplies of rare earth elements, but dominates the processing of them as well.

    “To get around these problems we need to develop a #circular #economy where we #reuse these minerals wherever possible, otherwise we will run out of materials very quickly,” said Horsfall.

    ⚠️“There is only a finite amount of these metals on Earth and we can no longer afford to throw them away as waste as we do now.

    We need new #recycling technologies if we want to do something about global warming.”

    And the key to this recycling was the microbe, said Horsfall.
    #Bacteria are wonderful, little crazy things that can carry out some weird and wonderful processes. Some bacteria can synthesise nanoparticles of metals, for example.

    We believe they do this as a detoxification process. Basically they latch on metal atoms and then they spit them out as nanoparticles so that they are not poisoned by them.”

    ✅ Using such strains of bacteria, Horsfall and her team have now taken waste from electronic batteries and cars, dissolved it and then used bacteria to latch on to specific metals in the waste and deposit these as solid chemicals.

    “First we did it with #manganese. Later we did it with #nickel and #lithium. And then we used a different strain of bacteria and we were able to extract #cobalt and nickel.”
