It is most certainly possible without child labor. It's not like adult labor in the DRC is particularly expensive. The per capita value of all the cobalt America uses per year is less than $1. If it were lying on the sidewalk, you probably wouldn't bother to bend over to pick up the amount of money you save by having child labor in those mines. The idea that we need child labor is asinine.
