The Designer Miners

This elegant Italian and Chinese couple adore their high-end clothes, and opulent jewelry and watches almost as much as they do looking in the mirror. Their environmentally-destructive global mining operations of gold, coal, lithium, and rare earth minerals – as well as oil drilling – allow them to afford far more of the latest and vintage fashions than they could ever wear.

These style addicts boast that the gold they wear comes from their massive corporate mines and from their thousands of small, illegal gold mining teams – who destroy wildlife by cutting down forests and leaving toxic chemicals such as cyanide in local rivers – for they use cyanide to separate the gold from worthless ore.

Although they supposedly love each other, it’s difficult to know Lorenzo’s exact feelings – since his smirk is as ambiguous as the Mona Lisa’s!
