NEW YORK, Sept 12 — Illegal guns in storage present a risk, potentially getting into the hands of the wrong people at any moment and being used in an act of violence. To take on this issue, a Sweden-based NGO is working to collect these weapons, melt them down and create new goods. And the profits are also going to promote peace.
ETX Studio presents “Protecting the planet one step at a time,” a regular feature in partnership with Energy Observer Solutions. In Lund, an NGO is working to ensure that peace is no longer “a dream waiting to happen.” Its project revolves around the idea of collecting illegal weapons seized in countries plagued by violence and melting them down to create a so-called ‘peace metal’ that can go on to be used as a new raw material.Every minute in the world, a person gets killed by a gun. The armament sector doesn’t seem to be feeling the crunch, even the opposite as gun sales keep on increasing: +4,6 per cent in 2018.
