   When Big Tech is challenged on its energy, material and water use, it's response is always that its working on being more efficient, finding ways to keep growing but in a "greener" way.

   We must challenge the Growth Death Cult.

   Our environment simply cannot cope with this incessant growth of data, data centers, servers, chips, smartphones, laptops, earbuds.

   There is no infinite growth on a finite planet. Driven by Big Tech, we have already bust past multiple boundaries.

   It's not sustainable.

     @gerrymcgovern It cannot be said often and clearly enough. There is no such thing as green overconsumption. we don't need a greener way, we need another way. we don't need more green stuff. we need less stuff.
