Links for what? The environmental damage of producing electronics?

- Apple has a report for the environmental impact of an iphone, 81% of the carbon emissions is from the production of the device [0]

- In addition to the whole global warming thing, there's the health impact [1].

So here I am, typing this message out on a perfectly capable universal turing machine. But in order to run <nintendo game> I have to incur that 81% carbon emissions again to buy a different universal turing machine from Nintendo. One that will, after a few years, get thrown into the back of a closet where it will accumulate dust until one day I haul it down to electronics recycling where it can continue its journey poisoning the children.

Its a simple matter of 1 device is less bad than 2.
