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.
