Interesting!

Please let's not forget the environmental damage- beyond emissions - BHP causes in their mining sites, particularly on Andean salt flats and wetlands such as Punta Negra, Atacama (Minera Escondida Project) and Pampa Lagunilla (Cerro Colorado Project). Funny this damage isn't even exchangeable for offset projects and they manage to "compensate" and "mitigate" putting lots of money just locally.
