And, as supplies of these hard-to-find metals dry up around the world, demand remains as strong as ever. Because nickel is difficult to extract, the process calls for heavy machinery that runs on diesel and generates carbon, as well as large, acid-leaching installations needed to separate the metal from its ore.

These continuous changes result in increases in waste, emissions, resource depletion and high energy consumption. Whatever your view is on climate change, we must all agree that climate change is constant; we are and will continue to move through the historical cooling and warming cycles. Does zero waste really mean zero waste?

With the growth of e-commerce and demand for faster shipping (which means burning more fuel), maritime emissions increased nearly 5% between 2020 and 2021. The drop in sulfur oxide emissions, which ironically have a cooling effect in the atmosphere by reflecting light, has also played a role in record high ocean temps this year.
