"Ha dat is grappig. Ik was speciaal die link van Claire Boonstra gaan zoeken om hierbij te plaatsen, maar Ronald was me voor! Gister was ze te gast bij Casa Luna op radio 1.

"@nils: can you elaborate on that misbelief? I believe that digital age brings us more than it will cost. Not easy (or impossible) to put that in numbers, because this is about nearly everything (even the basics: health, food, shelter) and it is what the future will bring. Nobody would put the idea on this website to just stop all train networks. But in the beginning some people were very negative about it, and even thought trains were very dangerous. Some people think that innovation means decay, but i think innovation is the only way to go."September 17 2012 on Don't produce any digital Data for one month
"This should be the idea for april next year! In the Netherlands every year at April 30th a big fleamarket is being held allover the country (because of the Queen's birthday, or actually her mother, well long story). And then ask friends and neighbours to give stuff for the flee market. Selling on a flee market is actually a fun thing to do."September 16 2012 on Get rid of all the things you don't need/wear anymore and organize a...
"Because we shouldn't look back to much, because that'll not be the way we're going. Being critical towards everything is good though. There are really bad things going on in Africa where they dig for lithium and other stuff that is being used in digital equipment. I think a lot of future innovations, in food production, health services, education and more lay in the use of digital technology. Stepping back thus also means stepping back in those subjects. Stepping foreward is better. For example: Since the time that electronics became mobile, we are so much more focussing on saving energy. I am sure that a lot of people are trying to find methods of producing, that do not rely on scarse minerals. The solutions are always in front of us, although may be far. And for the 2%, that was about energy use of data centers, not for carbon offset. This is a source http://blogs.computerworld.com/18738/data_centers_use_2_of_u_s_energy_below_forecast So equipment is not included. It's only about data centers. And 2% is really a lot and its merely invisible, therefore an interesting number. So i am still interested in the purpose of your idea! What do you want to reach? As I said: what do you think use more energy/carbonoffset: sending an sms, mail or a real postcard? "September 10 2012 on Don't produce any digital Data for one month
