Makes sense, lithium mining is incredibly destructive to the environment.

No doubt. But we do it when the benefit > cost(including environmental). If we never mined and destroyed land we would not have most modern things that we enjoy everyday.

So what you're saying is, cut out modern luxurious shit and the world would be in a better place? Deal
