 What do you want for Christmas? How about a new cell phone or tablet? There's some pretty sweet deals this time of year. Sweet deals for the consumer maybe? But do you know the real cost of a cell phone or tablet? A lot of these gadgets take minerals like copper, tantalum and gold. Most of the world's tantalum comes from the Democratic Republic of Congo, the DRC in Africa, where mining has helped fuel a brutal war for over two decades. The copper could come from the Philippines where mining is highly militarized and has sometimes destroyed the sacred places of indigenous peoples. The gold could come from Guatemala where mining has displaced farmers off their lands through forced evictions, conflicts and even killings. So while these electronic gadgets may not cost you too much, the costs to the people in the DRC, Guatemala and the Philippines are huge. These minerals could be in your devices this year. Do you really need a new smartphone or tablet? Or is what you have all that you need? What do you want for Christmas? We're the Kairos Movement Building Circle.
