You got a local, organic, sustainable, handmade phone or PC? Do you live in a cave? Do you only hunt and grow your own food?

I don't think they proposed an all or nothing attitude. We as individuals can do "something".

It's reduce, reuse and recycle.

Like the one you're replying to, my phone is a 6 years old flagship, bought it 3 years ago similar case with most of my electronics, I bought it used.

Got pretty old solar panel, little battery but meaningful capacity.

I'm no vegan but since I'm SEA-an majority of my diet is plant based anyway. And it's not enough to fully sustain myself but I do grow a few kitchen staple.

Use public transport, if none available then vote for whoever proposed it.

I know it's a drop in the bucket in grand scheme of things. But that's the extent me as normal individual can do and I'm content.

Yeah, I'm not unreasonable. I'm just doing my part.
