Japan’s planning to do deep sea mining for rare earth minerals by 2026 that will power technology, but the impacts on the environment are unknown and it could spread heavy metals and destroy habitats. Here’s a video I made and on how you can help stop it if you want.

I like talking about our awesome planet, doing engineering, and making music. And of course, DRAGONS!!!🐉🐉🐉
Nature is my tripod :)

Note: this is kind of a politically charged topic. I’m not really going to argue either side for whether it’s necessary or not. Just trying to spread the facts on what we know and how it could impact the environment. We can agree or disagree, but let’s be respectful. Also, wish I could do better, diseased, tired

Solutions: spread the word, contact your officials, if you’re in the International Seabed authority, contact your reps, try and get media attention on issues, sign petitions, try to get your company to not use the metals if in tech, etc
