Agree to disagree to agree. One thing that's particularly dangerous and dirty right now is cobalt. (Used primarily in rechargeable batteries, and airbags, jet engines, etc) Unlike some other exotic materials, it's currently a supply chain that cannot prove which materials were obtained using modern techniques and heavy equipment, and which ones were obtained by hand through brutalized labor practices.

I caught an interview on NPR recently[1] with the author of "Cobalt Red: How the Blood of the Congo Powers Our Lives"
