So why is this important?
The e-waste conundrum
“E-waste”, as its called, is a rapidly mounting problem.
Well, that’s… not great.
In other words, were wasteful but we dont have to be.
Microsoft is taking a stand, and I couldnt be happier about it.
In fact, cynics could easily argue that Microsoft has an ulterior motive.
Well, that’s… not great.
Reduce, reuse, recycle… repair!
Theres nothing more frustrating than when a equipment breaks, and you cant get it repaired cheaply and easily.
You take it to a repair shop, only to find it cant do anything.
iFixit’s recent partnership with Logitech has made specialist tools for repairing the brand’s hardware a lot more accessible.
Lets be honest: that’s not ideal.
Luckily, Microsoft isnt alone in this recent push against e-waste.
What, I already mentioned those guys?
Hell, theyre so good at eco-friendly tech, Ill mention them twice.
The question, of course, is this: will it be enough?
After all, many heavy hitters in the tech industry are nowhere near Microsofts level.
Still, I dont want to be too much of a Negative Nancy here.
Every step towards truly sustainable tech is a worthwhile one, no matter how small.
Microsoft, I commend you… but you might want tostop killing the planet with AI, too.
