The 36 year old said: “This woman walks one kilometre each way to collect clean water. The tube well is located beside the brick field, so often people use the field as a shortcut.”
“Over one million bricks are in the field and are stacked like this to be dried. Brick kilns like this are a cause of climate change. The industry wreaks havoc on the surrounding environment.”
“It is estimated that tens of billions of bricks are churned out ever year across 7,000 locations. During the dry season, when more bricks are made, the air quality in the surrounding area severely declines.”
