April 22, 2024, is Earth Day. Originally a day to promote awareness of the ways plastics wreck the environment, Earth Day has more recently become a time when all environmental causes are spotlighted because we only have one planet to live on, and it makes sense to try and keep it habitable.
Earth Day is also the time of year when tech companies like to remind us of their commitment to making and selling “sustainable” products. However, it seems like they don’t understand what that means; sustainable tech is the 21st-century version of the light cigarette. It’s still really bad, but not as bad as it could be.
