Much of what is being done to protect the environment isn't voluntary, the government is pushing reductionn of water use, use of renewable energy and lowering of emissions at mining sites.
It's a mining country and it has been for more than 100 years, wars have been fought over this. There is no other meaningful industry here. So this won't stop anytime soon.
Africa is where the child labor disaster is, I think everyone who is paying attention knows the methods and issues in Atacama/ Chile are very different to Africa in the coming tsunamai of extraction at the altar of electrification.
