    I learned that if we really want to achieve the goal of Sustainability, we must broaden our knowledge globally, because only by adding actions and seeing what happens on the other side of the world, we can create synergy.

    We need to phase out fossil fuels, and electric cars are an integral part of a greener future. But as electric car manufacturers move to the forefront of the market, they need to drastically improve their practices and take steps to ensure that their role in the energy revolution is truly clean and fair. A green future built on the backs of exploited children in the DRC is no kind of progress.
