And there's a good debate to be had about the negative externalities of IT equipment, and short product release cycles! Personally I've taken to buying more second hand, and making sure my systems are upgradeable. But still, silicon and other IT stuff has insane footprints wrt water, CO2, and other pollutants...

But it will not address the big problems with cars, which are all about the people outside and the environment.
