Bookmarked this amazing collection of resources! Would love to see
more on e-waste minimisation too, as I was shocked to read how much
electricity (and potable water) goes into manufacturing and disposing
of devices.
- schiffern 3y agoTwo things I never see mentioned as being 'green,' even though they incontrovertibly are: * Use a good ad blocker, eg uBlock Origin. Consider enabling Medium or Hard Mode.[0] Ad & analytics servers use electricity too, so the fewer connections the greener! * Watch videos at (gasp) lower resolution. Even with CDNs, mostly your internet electricity footprint is just a function of the total data transferred. I find videos are perfectly watchable at 360-380p resolution, and I'll only occasionally switch to HD if there's very small text. Of course both tips help make the most of older hardware, which extends device longevity. [0] https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Blocking-mode https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Blocking-mode
