Did you know, the world still mines more lead now than it did 50 years ago, at the peak of 'put lead in everything' mania?

To me, this says that we still put lead in too many things. Lead is still used for flashing in roofs. It's still used as a mould release when making plastics. It's still used in making dishware. It's still used in bullets.

It's still used for all kinds of things which will one day end up in the environment and someone's drinking water.
