Wealth = environmental destruction, a story of our times.

"""
Unusually pure phosphate deposits – a key ingredient in fertiliser – once made Nauru one of the wealthiest places, per capita, on the planet.

But these supplies have long dried up, and researchers today estimate 80% of Nauru has been rendered uninhabitable by mining.

What little land Nauru has left is threatened by encroaching tides.

The Guardian · Nauru sells citizenship to help fund relocations as sea levels riseBy Guardian staff reporter

"To help meet the cost of moving about 10,000 residents from low-lying homes menaced by rising sea levels and floods, the remote Pacific Ocean nation of #Nauru aims to sell citizenships for the #climate-threatened island.

President Adeang is seeking to raise an initial $65 million for work to transform the barren interior — left as an uninhabitable moonscape by decades of #phosphate mining — with a project to ultimately develop a new township, farms and workplaces."
