“60% of the world’s cobalt is mined in the DRC. Significant
amounts of this is mined under appalling conditions often by
child labourers.” My personal opinion on this statement is most
closely described by: A. What’s cobalt got to do with to me? B.
The DRC is a long way from where I live so I don’t really care. C.

allowed.

ethical concerns regarding how this cobalt is mined.

The statement about cobalt mining in the DRC brings to light
severe human rights issues, particularly concerning child labor
