We love seeing street art and NFTs being used for social and environmental good. Here’s what Ludo had to say about the piece:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

“We all know (even Elon) that Lithium-ion batteries are needed to make our electronic devices work, and the batteries use rare mineral cobalt. This is a very precious mineral, with over 60% of world production originating in the Democratic Republic of Congo. In this country and others, it is still estimated that some 40,000 children have to work in these mines to collect this mineral instead of going to school, playing or simply experiencing childhood.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

According to an Amnesty International report, children work for at least 12 hours a day without protective equipment in deep underground shafts around 10 metres long, which they have often dug themselves, putting their lives in danger.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is what we create to make sure our electric tools and hybrid vehicles are always fully charged.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
