Gold mining is considered to be one of the most environmentally unfriendly forms of mineral extraction. The process creates massive amounts of toxic waste – 20 tonnes for every gold ring – and it ravages landscapes such as the Amazon. Plus it’s not the most ethical of industries. For gold miners in developing countries, the wages are low and the risks are high – especially for the estimated 600,000 children working in the industry worldwide.
