  Unfortunately I don't really know where to start. I mean, I'm a software engineer by training. Back in university, we had a courses on engineering ethics, environmental responsibility, stuff like that. That's where I learned the concept of lifecycle energy assessment. I know it's a thing, but I never learned how to actually do the assessment (e.g. where to pull figures, the kind of ballpark calculations you do). It might be interesting to make the methodology of lifecycle energy assessment more accessible to the general populace. I think everybody can benefit from a new perspective.

    Look what I’ve found of a bit googling: https://www.apple.com/environment/pdf/products/iphone/iPhone_11_PER_sept2019.pdf https://www.apple.com/environment/pdf/products/iphone/iPhone... While it is made by Apple itself it gives a rough idea of how much an iPhone costs.
