"Good Luck Fish," lifestyle brand 2nd universe's updated version of the dried pollack tied with silk yarn tradition [2ND UNIVERSE] The city of Seoul has a fantastic collision of old and new.

The rising popularity of electric vehicles and other technology caused a surge in demand for cobalt, a metal that is mostly found in Africa, where miners are reportedly working in horrific conditions. The growing market for electric-powered automobiles, smartphones and other high-tech devices has made for unintended consequences halfway around the world. Such products — which operate on lithium-ion batteries — typically require cobalt, a chemical element found within the earth’s crust. The metal is becoming increasingly associated with the “blood diamond” vernacular. The Democratic Republic of the Congo, a central African country, is where the vast majority of cobalt is currently mined. While the Congo has largely profited off the metal, international observers have expressed concern over the working conditions of cobalt miners. Activists have decried inhumane working conditions African cobalt miners are enduring.
