Hi!

I'm really interested in your project! I'm a engineer in computer science and robotics, and in parallel, I'm going to run a workshop on building solar ovens at a recycling center. I'd love to base the workshop on your project and learn more about it.

Would it be possible to get your contact information so we can communicate further if you're open to it?

Looking forward to your reply!

Best regards, Julien (email in bio)

Two Screens 6 years ago

I do also have two screens: one laptop for work and one PC for personal usage (my company does not allow me to use the laptop for personal usage). Individually we can all find "mitigating factors" but collectively we failed finding the right balance between comfort and sustainability.

The multi-screen trend is now pursuing its mainstreamification to every offices and home desktops. But at the same time Earth is sending us warnings: we need to slow down. Given the state of our knowledge on that matter, I am surprised that the general consensus on YN is not to have less screens and reserve the resources to better usage.

What an electronic and energy waste only to avoid doing some keystrokes!

Can we have prosperity without growth? No. Can we have sustainability with growth? No. Then we can not have prosperity and sustainability. Can we afford not having sustainability? No. Then we can not afford prosperity.

The fact that "cheap" products are important does not reinforce your first statement that "if consumer behavior changes, the markets will to". When a family can afford a swimming pool because there are now ones you can buy for 8 dollars I won't call it a vote. In my opinion, buying can be assimilated to a vote when your wallet is big enough to let you consider several market options.

It is more complicated than this. Many do not have enough in their wallet to 'vote' based on their values.
