Revelations

I am about to make a few statements. None of them are particularly shocking. You may even find yourself reading and thinking I hate to admit it–But that’s me too! Goodness me I’m glad nobody can see inside my head right now, how embarrassing that would be–

1) When I go to purchase a new laptop computer, the last thing I am wondering is how energy-efficient it is. No, I am a girl and a busy girl at that. Therefore I am wondering about if it comes in pink, and if it does, what shades?

2) When I look at computer stuff in general, I don’t see plastic, I see computer stuff. That may sound like a fairly dumb thing to say, but it’s the marketing, you see. The companies have two options: a) tell us how damaging plastic is to the environment or b) don’t bother and sell more computer stuff. Which makes more business sense to you?

Fortunately not everyone has their head in the sand when it comes to thinking about how we can make computer stuff more eco-friendly. In fact, hit the link and you’ll be taken to an Enigin blog which is especially amazing at thinking and discussing out loud all that stuff.

Now I’ve been there I can safely say that I get it. Until I read those facts I had absolutely no idea that there were whole ranges of computers that are now striving to be eco-friendly. And if you find yourself still asking: but why is it so important all of a sudden? Then hear this – it’s always been important, we should have done this ages ago–
