Why should you bid?

Today, on Indigenous People's Day, you have the opportunity to make a difference by supporting the protection of both people and the planet. This includes numerous indigenous communities living in remote areas near gold mining sites.

Historically, mercury was extensively used in gold mining due to its ability to dissolve gold found in nature amidst sand, mud, and other nonmetallic elements like sulfur. It acted as a solution to this mining challenge, similar to how salt dissolves in water.

Unfortunately, a significant amount of the mercury used in gold and silver mining eventually entered the atmosphere or was dumped into waterways alongside other mining waste. Shockingly, it's estimated that nearly half of all mercury produced in human history was used in mining operations.

Mercury remains a highly toxic substance, posing severe environmental and health risks.

Given that a substantial portion of mercury pollution results from artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM), Pure Earth's global mercury program is dedicated to reducing mercury emissions from these gold mining communities worldwide.

We can all be a part of the solution!
