6.2 The role of individuals and households You've been considering how to reduce your own carbon footprint to help tackle the worst effects of climate and other environmental changes. To that extent, ‘I’ as an individual consumer has a role to play. But unless you live alone, you share your household with other people, a group that could be called ‘we’. Everyone in the household may have similar views on living lightly. But, even within a household, there may be different views and priorities about what, if anything, sho

Rare earth elements: Simple commodity or strategic vulnerability?
Rare earths are a group of 17 elements with unique chemical, magnetic and luminescent
properties crucial for the functioning of much of today’s high technology equipment,
including MRIs, lap-top computers, hybrid vehicles and LEDs. They also have important
applications in the defence industry.
China is the dominant supplier of rare earth elements (REEs), meeting at least 85% of
global demand. In 2010, REEs were splashed across the front pages of newspapers when
it significantly reduced ra
