A cartoon showing people mining the earth’s mineral resources to an irresponsible extent.
The cartoon about the depletion of the earth’s resources – and the possible dire consequences.
The image shows the earth represented by a boat, with the people in the boat digging out so much of the earth’s minerals that they have made a hole in the bottom of the boat, meaning that it will sink. A cautionary image.
