    For 15yrs, people suffered under #Tories ideological drive to #privatise #PublicServices

    #Outsourcing came at expense of services & workers who keep them going

    Labour’s Plan to Make Work Pay committed to ‘bring about the biggest wave of #insourcing of public services in a generation’

    As well as improving conditions for users & staff, it would cut down on private sector #waste & deliver better value for us

  4. We export our waste and call it philantropy.

    African countries have tried banning imports of used clothes to protect their own textile economies, but so far have been punished for it.

    60% of it acrually ends up on landfills, decomposing into #microplastics polluting local ecosystems.

    Do not ship used clothes to ruin African markets, as no weaver can compete with cost on free!

    Given Chrome's billions of users, the total number of affected devices – and the #bandwidth consumed – could be substantial. Hanff estimates that pushing 4GB to hundreds of millions or billions of devices would amount to several exabytes of data transferred, potentially generating between 6,000 and 60,000 metric tons of #CO2.
