That's where "phytomining" enters the picture.
This nascent industry is using special metal-accumulating plants to develop a less destructive way to mine--or should we say farm?--metals.

But what if there was another way?
What if there was a way to obtain the metals we want--nickel, cobalt, cadmium, zinc--without the need for destructive strip mining or deep sea adventures?
