We should focus our efforts where the impact:effort ratio is the most favourable. This doesn't seem particularly productive.

- plzbo 4y agoThis is true of course, but we shouldn't discard any attempt to improve the situation, just because there are bigger fish to try.
- xvector 4y agoActually, we should, when the energy spent improving the situation could be spent on things with magnitude more impact. The whole phone e-waste discussion is virtue signaling in its worst form.
- plzbo 4y agoIt may well be, but the dismissal of it just because you could do more is even worse without action.
- palata 4y agoSure, but not everyone has the same opportunities. So I'd say we should focus on the best we _can_ do personally. It's better for me to focus on recycling my electronics than focusing on the ecological impact of the modern commercial satellites madness. Because I cannot do anything about Starlink and the likes, but I can recycle my phone.
