Doing some deep cleaning at my parent's and found the book that started it all... was gifted this in 5th grade; it was my first introduction to civil liberties and social justice (in the digital age, and everywhere else!)

Over 10 years later and I'm pursuing a degree in tech/data in the public realm, and studying all sorts of different relationships between tech, policing, climate, mobility, accessibility and more. This book has had a seriously profound impact on my life.

Thanks @pluralistic

It's amazing how big multi-billion dollar corporations can hide behind environmental concerns.

Apple decided not to include a power adapter in the iPhone box a few years ago.

It's only 58 grams of plastic with some metal. Sounds reasonable, yeah?

Also Apple:
Want to add RAM to your Macbook?
- No, buy a new 2kg one.
Want to upgrade your SSD?
- Ok, buy a new 2kg one.
Want to use your old iMac as a monitor for your Mac Mini?
- Sure, buy a new 10kg one. Or a separate display. Or just throw your iMac away.

What is it if not taking care of the money?

It's so ridiculous to bring ecology here.
