Sustainable Tech

Sabaidee, Welcome!

This is a community for promoting sustainability in tech and computing. This includes: understanding the impact that our tech/computing choices have on the environment; purchasing or re-using devices that are sustainable and repairable; how to properly recycle or dispose of old devices when it is beyond use; and promoting software and services that allow us to reduce our environmental impact in the long term, both at work and in our personal lives.

This isn't a competition, it's a reminder to stay grounded when making your decisions. Remember: The most sustainable device is the one that you are already using.

Rules:

  1. Stay on-topic. Everything from sustainable smartphones to data centers and the green energy that powers them is fair game.
  2. Be excellent to each other.

When you buy their headphones, you can choose whether to sign up for a repair service, which comes in two flavours. You can choose unlimited repairs per year or unlimited repairs forever, where you pay a larger amount once and are guaranteed repair service for the rest of your life.

Hmmm, I don't know. I'm disappointed that they don't seem to be using common rechargeable AA or AAA batteries, but who knows, maybe they do. The "lifetime" repair service is more reasonable than I expected, at about a 1/3+ of the price of the headphones.
