    This is more like taking the first step, getting distracted by a cool bug, finding an interesting stick, and going home to show Mum your cool stick.

    An SD card lasts for years, and the amount of plastic in one is negligible. It’s just not an issue.

      Hark! The ghosts of countless generations of short-sighted polluters cry out in complacent, rationalizing unison!

      It’s not about expecting one model of memory card to save the Earth. It’s about moving away from needless production of toxic materials, everywhere.

      And if you don’t care, nobody’s going to force you to read The Lorax, but please don’t go around shitting on people’s appreciation for even the small things.

        Worrying about the plastic in an SD card just feels like bike-shedding to me, but keep up the good fight, I guess.

          Yeah it’s the equivalent of finding two dollars on the ground and getting excited because at this rate you’ll be a billionaire soon enough. There’s less than 2g of plastic in an SD card - the buttons on your shirt probably weigh more.
