All they left us with is destroyed land during the extraction process of bauxite. What do you think they will do to the beautiful shorelines and coral reefs of our country? This will be devastating to the beautiful shores of our country. They don’t care how the extraction process will affect wildlife destroy the coral reefs and impact the land our people depend on. We will be left with less than nothing. The byproduct of extraction leads to cancer, diseases and every other negative aspect of off shore oil drilling🤦🏽‍♀️
