An aerial view of a contaminated area with garbage, plastic recipients, bottles and toxic waste generated by mining companies which have polluted the Tagarete River which flows into Uru Uru Lake on March 27, 2021, near Oruro, Bolivia. Plastic bottles, bags and waste from the San José mine affect the affluent rivers and the Uru Uru Lake, placed at 3,700 meters above sea level. Residents of the surrounding villages must go to Oruro to buy drinking water and are worried about waste mismanagement and pollution. (Photo by Gaston Brito Miserocchi/Getty Images)
