Since the COP21 in 2015, which set demanding targets for reducing greenhouse gases, green energies have been on the rise. The electric car has thus become the mascot of this revolution. But manufacturers remain discreet about the carbon footprint of their cars marked "zero emission".

In China, for example, champion of rare metals, in Heilongjiang province, a carpet of toxic dust covers agricultural regions.
