This is a good reminder to what Fairphone is about and why I “joined the movement” as the saying goes. For me Fairphone is not so much about owning a “fair phone” (I wouldn’t even buy a smartphone ever if it wouldn’t be for Fairphone allowing me to make this statement) but making a statement that as a consumer of electronics I’m willing to pay for products that are made of minerals that are mined fair and sustainable and products that are made under social working conditions. For me, the ultimate hope is ‘the industry’ will pick up on this and when I need to replace it, I can buy that much oftener used and far more important device for me: the desktop PC, as a fair and sustainably used product. Though I have to thank this forum for some pointers to companies that already are creating eco-friendly pieces:
Which computer do you recommend? (though the problem usually is, I never came upon an eco-friendly computer that is gamer-friendly as well. I want a fair, sustainable gaming desktop).
