You can do something to combat with !

Production accounts for 75+% of a device's footprint over its operating life.

Software can determine how long a device remains in use.

Lightweight, up-to-date software, free from bloat and ads, keeps less-powerful running and out of the bin.

Software freedom means hardware freedom.

Paper industry has negative environmental effects, e.g., when acids poison waters.

But electronics can be devastating: e-readers include numerous chemicals harmful to health & environment.

Production is resource intensive: e-reader that weighs <200 grams accounts for 15kg materials including non-renewable metals/rare earths, 300L water & 170kg CO2.

And miserable working conditions under which resources extracted in global South and then disposed there as toxic .
