"toxic, nightmarish lake created by our thirst for smartphones, consumer gadgets and green tech"
Hmm interresting, I dont see "created by thirst of land rovers". Funny how the car manufacture do not create dystopian nightmarish lakes, right? When did this begin to happen? What is it? was it perhaps when everyone wanted the fancy new ipads and smartphones? whats that I hear, a smartwatch? perhaps some IOT crap?
Its so easy to condemn what you do not like yourself, but just remember, when you are pointing one finger out, 3 are pointing back.
If the SUV rabies won't abate, we need stronger measures.
