These small electronic devices that fit perfectly in the palm of your hand contain a sad story unfolding on the dark continent.\u003cbr\u003e Congo, located in central Africa, is a country rich in mineral resources and produces a lot of coltan.\u003cbr\u003e Coltan was treated as little more than gray sand, cheaper than tin. \u003cbr\u003eBut since a few years ago, it has been treated as precious as gold or diamonds.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Tantalum, a metal powder produced by refining coltan, has the property of withstanding high temperatures.\u003cbr\u003e As tantalum began to be widely used as a raw material for cell phones, laptops, jet engines, and optical fibers, coltan became a rare commodity.\u003cbr\u003e As demand for tantalum surged in the global high-tech device market, the price of coltan soared from 25,000 won per kg to 500,000 won in just a few months.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Unfortunately, Congo is currently in the midst of a civil war.\u003cbr\u003e Government Hutu and anti-government Tutsi soldiers are pointing guns at each other.\u003cbr\u003e The rebels are financing their war by selling coltan on the black market in Uganda and Rwanda.\u003cbr\u003e The Congo civil war is not easily ending and has been going on for a long time because the war funding is abundant thanks to the expensive coltan. \u003cbr\u003eIn the 1990s, as many as 5 million people were killed in the civil war.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The only equipment given to workers in coltan mines is a shovel.\u003cbr\u003e There is no other equipment to prevent accidents.\u003cbr\u003e In 2001, a tunnel collapse killed more than 100 workers.\u003cbr\u003e However, farmers who have witnessed the price of coltan soaring dozens of times are abandoning their land and flocking to the mines.\u003cbr\u003e But no matter how hard they work, all they get is a pittance in wages.\u003cbr\u003e Because powerful middlemen are pocketing the huge profits.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Coltan is not only exploiting miners, it is also destroying Kahuzi-Biega National Park, a World Heritage Site in eastern Congo.\u003cbr\u003e Miners peel the bark off the coltan tree, cut a groove in the trunk, and use it to extract coltan from the mud. \u003cbr\u003eThe park's once spectacular forests, surrounded by two dormant volcanoes, were devastated by the work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Kahuzi-Biega National Park is also the last remaining gorilla habitat on Earth.\u003cbr\u003e Around 1996, there were about 280 gorillas living here.\u003cbr\u003e But when news spread that the national park contained a huge deposit of coltan, tens of thousands of people flocked to the area.\u003cbr\u003e They began to hunt wild animals in the mountains indiscriminately to find food.\u003cbr\u003e Of the 350 elephants that once numbered 350, only two remained in 2000.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The number of gorillas living at altitudes of 2,000 to 2,500 meters has gradually decreased, and the few remaining gorillas have been forced to run away from humans. \u003cbr\u003eMiddlemen and multinational corporations, obsessed with making money, pay no attention to how Congolese miners are treated, how national parks are being destroyed, or how gorillas are dying.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e It is said that the 'Cell Phone Finder Call Center (www.handphone.or.kr)' receives an average of 6,500 new cell phones per month.\u003cbr\u003e It is said that the number of people who have lost their expensive cell phones and have not gone to look for them because they think, \"Oh, good, I'll replace it with a new model now.\" has already exceeded 36,000.\u003cbr\u003e People who visit say it's simply because their friends' phone numbers are saved.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e While we're ogling the latest cell phone because of its color, camera and MP3 capabilities, gorillas in Congo, Africa, are losing their habitat and becoming extinct. \u003cbr\u003eThe innocent indigenous people are endangered for their lives by the endless civil war.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The fact that we cherish our cell phones for a long time is not limited to saving on communication costs and conserving materials.\u003cbr\u003e It is a sacred task to protect precious lives on the other side of the Earth.\u003cbr\u003e Furthermore, it is also a great task to bring an end to the war that is causing meaningless deaths as soon as possible and bring true peace to the world.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e --- From

disappears, the balance and order of the ecosystem are destroyed, and humans who live together with nature also suffer considerable damage.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIn our country, approximately 6,500 cell phones are piled up in lost and found centers every month.\u003cbr\u003e Because of our tendency to chase new features and designs, we change our phones frequently and have a hard time finding them when we lose them.\u003cbr\u003e If we use our cell phones with a little care, we can protect the natural ecosystem and keep our lives safe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eThe cause of yellow dust is disposable wooden chopsticks!\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Most disposable wooden chopsticks used in our country are made in China.\u003cbr\u003e Forests are disappearing in China as countless trees are cut down to make these disposable chopsticks.\u003cbr\u003e Because we don't restore lost forests, an area six times the size of Seoul is turning into desert every year.\u003cbr\u003e On windy days, the sand from this desert blows across the continent and the Yellow Sea to our country.\u003cbr\u003e This is yellow dust.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe yellow dust that came across the continent is mixed with heavy metals from Chinese cities suffering from industrialization, making the already polluted air on the Korean Peninsula even worse.\u003cbr\u003e Yellow dust, an uninvited guest in spring, causes respiratory diseases such as asthma and aggravates atopic dermatitis, leading to the closure of elementary schools.\u003cbr\u003e The dust and turbid air that accompanies yellow dust also cause disruptions in aviation and telecommunications services.\u003cbr\u003e In this way, yellow dust causes serious damage to humans.\u003cbr\u003e To prevent yellow dust, which causes enormous harm to our health and daily lives, we must first reduce the use of disposable wooden chopsticks.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eEco-friendly living makes the Earth beautiful\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The Earth is something we are borrowing from our descendants for a short

destruction of the environment for small conveniences and profits still occur in many places.\u003cbr\u003e If environmental destruction continues at the current rate, trees will soon disappear from the Earth and paper will no longer be available.\u003cbr\u003e In addition, various types of pollution, including light, air, and noise, will become more severe, leading to the worst results that cannot even be imagined.\u003cbr\u003e This terrible world is the future of our planet that we are creating.\u003cbr\u003e It is everyone's wish to live a healthy life, breathing clean air in a beautiful and clean environment.\u003cbr\u003e It is not that difficult to achieve this wish.\u003cbr\u003e You can start by doing something very small right now.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"Gorillas Hate Cell Phones\" explains environmental problems occurring around us in an easy-to-understand way with specific examples. \u003cbr\u003eIt also kindly guides us through how simple things we can do to solve these environmental problems, and how joyful it is to preserve this precious Earth and pass it on to future generations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Through this book, we will learn how to easily practice an eco-friendly lifestyle in our daily lives.\u003cbr\u003e That small action is the first step towards keeping our beautiful Earth

and information, the content has been revised to bring it up to date with changes from five years ago.\u003cbr\u003e Also, 'What Happens When You Turn On the Switch' deals heavily with nuclear power generation due to the Fukushima nuclear accident in March 2011, and 'The Joy of Making Things with My Own Hands', which begins with an episode where the short author tailors his clothes to fit him, is a new addition. \u003cbr\u003e'Polar bears are panting because they're hot?' and 'The beautiful and special voyage of the gray whale' are narrated by a polar bear and a gray whale, respectively, and tell stories about the destruction of their habitat due to environmental pollution, making reading even more interesting.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Secondly, considering that this book will be used as a topic for discussions and essays by middle and high school students, it includes questions directly selected by essay experts to 'nurture thinking'.\u003cbr\u003e This corner aims to broaden students' thinking by asking questions that summarize each topic at the end of each section, encouraging them to research materials to expand their knowledge in related fields, and encouraging them to logically write down their thoughts on what stance to take when personal or group interests conflict with environmental issues.\u003cbr\u003e So, it can be used directly in educational settings such as school classes. \u003cbr\u003eFinally, the cover has been redesigned to feature a picture of the people and animals appearing in the book coexisting in various forms around the Earth, and new illustrations that stimulate the imagination in connection with the 20 texts have also been included.\u003cbr\u003e The book was printed on recycled paper (Green Light 80g) in line with the purpose of

would soon be destroyed, and another was indifference, thinking that it was only a problem for people who were particularly interested in environmental issues, such as residents of the affected areas or environmental activists, and had nothing to do with me.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Environmental issues are always close to us, from the three meals we eat, the water we drink, the clothes we wear, and even the homes we live in. \u003cbr\u003eAlso, skin diseases such as atopy and acne, and hair loss, which many people worry about, are closely related to the environment.\u003cbr\u003e Because we need clean water and air, healthy food, and a clean living space to be happy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Through this book, I wanted to convey environmental issues in a friendly and easy-to-understand way through stories from our daily lives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eQ.\u003cbr\u003e What has changed since the book was published?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A.\u003cbr\u003e There is a prejudice that environmental books are difficult, so while I was writing, I worried whether anyone would read them.\u003cbr\u003e However, I was surprised and grateful that so many people showed interest after the publication.\u003cbr\u003e In particular, middle and high school students used this book for discussion classes, and essay academies also reported that they held discussions on the topic of the environment, where students logically explained their thoughts. \u003cbr\u003eRecently, the book's contents were included in middle school Korean language and ethics textbooks, and I could feel that there was a lot of interest in the environment.\u003cbr\u003e In cities such as Bucheon, Bonghwa, and Gimhae, the book was selected for the One Book in One City reading campaign and a reading relay campaign was launched.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e I once thought environmental action was the responsibility of housewives, but now, I find it most rewarding that people of all ages, from office workers to college students and even teenagers, are realizing that taking action on environmental issues is just as important as being aware of them.\u003cbr\u003e Also, hearing the story of someone who was planning to change to a new phone but ended up using it until it broke, made me realize that books can touch people's hearts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eQ.\u003cbr\u003e I believe that many students and adults have read this book and will continue to do so in the future, to the point that it could be called a must-read for the entire nation.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003eWhy did this book become an 'environmental book that anyone can easily read'?\u003cbr\u003e A.\u003cbr\u003e I often hear that the book's content is easy and tells one's own story, rather than being an introductory book that explains difficult environmental terms or environmental concepts.\u003cbr\u003e It is said that we were able to learn about the connections between how everyday items we use at home, such as cell phones, wooden chopsticks, plastic bags, refrigerators, and washing machines, came into being, and what happens in their countries of origin.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Environmental issues are deeply connected to places like governments and corporations that set policies and operate large-scale factories.\u003cbr\u003e But if you think about it, it's because we, as citizens and consumers, all support policies that cause environmental problems and enjoy using products made from materials that destroy the natural environment. \u003cbr\u003eIf we trace the causes of environmental problems occurring on the other side of the globe, we find that they are all connected to me, living on the Korean Peninsula.\u003cbr\u003e I hope that we can all feel confident and certain that environmental issues can be addressed without feeling burdened, and that changes in our behavior can make a difference.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eQ.\u003cbr\u003e Why did you publish a revised edition after five years? What were the key changes you focused on in this revision?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A.\u003cbr\u003e Environmental books are books whose lifespan ends when environmental problems are solved.\u003cbr\u003e I am writing this book in the hope that its contents will become widely known, so that many people will become aware of it, and so that environmental problems can be quickly resolved.\u003cbr\u003e Unfortunately, this book is still relevant.\u003cbr\u003e Some topics are becoming increasingly serious.\u003cbr\u003e The revised edition includes information on how environmental issues have progressed and what changes have occurred over the past five years.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eMoreover, because environmental issues have no right answers, they are becoming topics for discussion classes where students can develop their own logic.\u003cbr\u003e So, to make it easier to conduct discussions in school classes, I added a question called \"Thinking Prompts\" with the help of an essay writing expert, and I also revised and supplemented the Environmental Practice Act to fit the latest trends.\u003cbr\u003e Also, we put a lot of effort into drawing new illustrations and revising the book cover and interior design several times.\u003cbr\u003e The content of the environmental book is somewhat depressing and heavy-hearted, but the revised edition feels more refreshing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eQ.\u003cbr\u003e I understand that you are giving lectures on this book.\u003cbr\u003e Who do you mainly give lectures to, and are there any memorable lectures or people you met through lectures?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Most of the people who come to listen to my lectures are middle and high school students, and I also lecture at public libraries, book discussion groups, and housewife groups. \u003cbr\u003eIn the past, lecture requests were limited to members of environmental groups or housewives' groups at cooperatives, but lecture requests are becoming increasingly diverse.\u003cbr\u003e At a book signing event held after a lecture at a youth reading camp in Busan, a female student asked if I had any plans to create and run a youth environmental club, and said that if such a club were created, she would join and participate.\u003cbr\u003e Hearing that, I felt like I wanted to be more proactive with the students I met through the book, and I'm still thinking about how to run it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Also, I remember someone who visited my blog every day to encourage me after giving a lecture at the Paju Library. The middle school librarian who was in charge of the author's lecture event actively promoted me to teachers at other schools, which led to a surge in requests for lectures from schools.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eQ.\u003cbr\u003e What would you like to say to the young people who are the main readers of this book?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A. \u003cbr\u003eI hope you don't think of environmental issues as mere news items or common knowledge that appears on exam questions.\u003cbr\u003e Everyone living on Earth must understand the environment and solve its problems to have a future and be happy.\u003cbr\u003e Moreover, environmental problems are not limited to our country; they must be solved by other countries and the entire planet.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e If you take an interest in environmental issues, your perspective on the world will naturally broaden.\u003cbr\u003e I hope that young people will become interested in the environment, go on to higher education, and choose careers related to the environment.\u003cbr\u003e If young people are interested in the environment, we can develop more efficient methods and technologies than we have today.\u003cbr\u003e I believe that young people can bring forward the day when we can live without any awareness of environmental issues. \u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:95%;padding-top:20px;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e GOODS SPECIFICS \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:14px;line-height:1.6em;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eDate of issue:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 15, 2011\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n \u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e- \u003cstrong\u003ePage count, weight, size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 222 pages | 354g | 148*210*20mm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9788993746068\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8993746060 \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/center\u003e","brand":"LIBRAIRIE COREENNE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43894336028714,"sku":"140557","price":19.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0683\/2750\/5962\/files\/9f6ebb943a5f525c66d43225c77ef0eb.jpg?v=1765431584","url":"https:\/\/librairie.coreenne.fr\/en\/products\/140557","provider":"LIBRAIRIE COREENNE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
