I think Gamers, well everyone really, should think about environmental issues, because it impacts not only us, but everyone else.

Not only in simple ways like making power to run our electronics more expensive, or having to deal with rolling blackouts or other more extreme measures.

But also because the interconnectedness of the world, lot of the countries that manufacture HDD, SSD, & other computer components will be hit hard, earlier than UK, or many of EU countries, or US.
