Its a similar situation with computer chips and solar cells
considering the nasty chemicals that go into manufacturing them.
There several toxic waste sites around Silicon Valley from
chemical leaks in older days when they were less careful.
Its improved now, or been offshored.

Or that Google is one of the largest consumers of electric
power in theworld because it has the worlds largest computer
system- 2 million CPUS spread over 60 data sites.
But to be fair, Google is also the most efficient computer
operator in the world per terabyte of storage because they
have paid both economic and ecological attention to
efficient computing.

Being green isnt easy.

Did Canada sign Kyoto protocol?
