   @gerrymcgovern This! Fairphone, Framework etc are absolutely a better option. And heck, my favourite de-Googled mobile operating system, /e/OS, works on older devices too!

     Keep digital devices for as long as possible

     Hold on to your devices for as long as possible. It’s the single most important thing you can do to. Up to 80% of CO2 and other pollution is caused during the manufacture of a digital device.

     We need smartphones that last 10 years.
     We need laptops that last 20 years.

     What you can do
     1. Hold onto your digital device for as long as possible (at least five years).
     2. Get your device repaired if it breaks.
     3. Buy from a brand like Fairphone.
