Increasing worker salaries and properly disposing of mining waste would both contribute to reducing the negative environmental impact of extracting minerals used in smartphones. By increasing worker salaries, mining companies can provide better working conditions and incentives for employees, potentially leading to greater adherence to environmental regulations. Properly disposing of mining waste ensures that toxic substances do not contaminate surrounding ecosystems and water sources.
