Mine Tracker
https://trace-and-traceability.org/MineTracker.php
The Mine Tracker dataset is a continuously updated open source database of active metal mines across the globe. Starting in January 2023 with 178 copper mines Mine Trackers will soon also include other metals such as lithium, tin, tungsten, tantalum and cobalt mines.
All entries are all manually checked and sourced from public records to include per mine its name, its location (longitude, latitude, address, country), ownership, metals mined and a URL and description (optional). Availability of information is not evenly spread, Wikipedia quality is uneven, language barriers are real. It is not perfect but we do are best.
Mining is not an environmentally neutral activity and the tool allows you to navigate to gigantic open pit mines scarring remote landscapes. It has its beauty but only from the safe distance of a satellite image. The ability to trace raw materials and products through a supply chain starts with mapping out the production areas and this is the core aim of the Mine Tracker database.

Is There a Mega Warehouse Near You?
https://www.sierraclub.org/sierra/map-mega-warehouses-near-you
The explosion of online shopping has led to a frenzy of warehouse construction in almost every region of the United States. To accommodate the flow of merchandise, Amazon and other online retailers have built what they call “fulfillment centers” in key hubs where zoning is welcoming (or nonexistent) and land is cheap. Today in the United States, there are 39,116 warehouses and distribution centers larger than 100,000 square feet, and they can be found in rural and suburban areas as well as urban ones. For nearby residents, the arrival of the mega warehouses means that traffic noise and air pollution bombard them at all times of the day, all year. But not everyone is impacted equally by the explosion of e-commerce. Often, the consequences fall hardest on communities of color. Use this map to view the distribution of mega-warehouses in your city or state.
