Just another PR stunt to distract from their environmental damage. Typical.

Bella Ciao
Seeing children get new supplies is heartwarming and provides immediate relief to parents. However, some might argue that these charitable acts are often used to deflect attention from more systemic issues like fair labor practices or environmental regulations that mining companies should uphold.

Don't be fooled by this greenwashing. Look deeper into their operations.
