This paper makes recommendations other than guilt trips and doesn't preclude carbon taxes. From the abstract: > First, this paper recommends directions that help select the right medium of storage (SSD vs HDD). Second, this paper proposes lifetime extension techniques for SSDs. Third, this paper advocates for effective and efficient recycling and reuse of high-density multi-level cell-based SSDs. Fourth, specifically for hand-held devices, this paper recommends leveraging elasticity in cloud storage. This seema reasonable to me. I don't think this paper claims to be much more than one item of research.
