I just stumbled across this.
Apparently
coltan used in the production of cell phones to playstations and everything in between, is
being mined with such demand that the Republic of Congo is taking advantage of the Rwandans and wiping out gorillas.
I had no idea. Its right up there with diamond mining.
Quick, somebody get Leonardo DiCaprio we need to make "Blood Coltan."
I never thought so much guilt would be attributed to my cell phone.
Can I get a 'blood' free DVD player?
