You're right that we are all complicit... In my mind, I sometimes get this visual of that scene from Full Metal Jacket, the one with the towel and bar of soap.

You're right that we are all complicit... In my mind, I sometimes get this visual of that scene from Full Metal Jacket, the one with the towel and bar of soap... I get that sense that we're all taking turns thwacking our biome/biosphere/relatives a couple of times and then passing it... I commend you on your efforts to reduce your complicity and sharing your successes for our inspiration. Thank you. (I still think anything is better than brand new when it comes to electronics, but you're way ahead of the pack.)

No need to thank me. I’m no altruist. The decisions I’ve made are selfish and ones that let me live the life I want. If I found out tomorrow that the Earth was cooling too fast and I needed to start driving, flying, and running the heat constantly in my giant house for the good of everyone, I wouldn’t do it. I like not driving, not flying, and living in a tiny apartment. It’s just fortunate that these things are also “good” for the planet.
