Giving up Meta products wouldn't be terrible. But it wouldn't solve anything. The greatest environmental footprint is left by streaming, I think.

We should all get off the internet, yet here we are. Hypocrisy is the prequel to Idiocracy.

    Greatest out of what? Internet services? Believable. But compared to flying, eating meat, and making new e-waste continuously it's nothing.

    Yes. The context was internet services.

    The context was living sustainably. I'd argue that getting off Facebook helps that, but not because of the energy savings. My sibling talking about how I should stop playing on the computer and go snowmobiling for fun is also a less sustainable choice, both for cost in dollars and energy consumed per hour of entertainment.
