🏭 The 4 phases of lifecycle assessment (LCA):

① Raw materials: rare earth extraction, water stress, biodiversity
② Manufacturing: factory grid mix, chip fab water use, freight emissions
③ Use phase: real-world energy use, cloud/AI overhead, regional grid carbon
④ End of life: e-waste, recycling yields, refurbishment

📊 The 60% rule: Manufacturing accounts for 60-85% of a laptop's total environmental footprint and 50-60% for a smartphone.

Most of the impact is locked in BEFORE you unbox the device.

That means "energy efficient" labels tell only part of the story.

📎 Meet my new profile icon: Clippy the Paperclip! 🖇️✨

You might recognize this little guy from the ‘90s, but Clippy’s back—and this time, he’s a symbol of resistance! 🛠️💙 Inspired by Louis Rossmann, Clippy has become the mascot of a growing digital rebellion against Big Tech’s planned obsolescence, surveillance, and the "shitification" of everything we love. He’s here to remind us that tech should serve people, not the other way around.

I personalized mine with a blue beret. That’s my little wink to Blue Beanie Day—and web accessibility—to make the internet work for everyone. (Because yes, even the revolution needs to be inclusive! 😉)

P.S. If anyone knows how to add alt text to profile pics, let me know—I’d love to have an image description in my profile!

P.P.S. 📎 To fight against Big Tech's "shitification" and advocate for the right to repair and personal ownership, visit fulu.org/newsletter
