Revision history [back]

I know that fair production methods (fair money, company that pay taxes, ...) aren't very popular for techies nor the IT industry itself. Nevertheless I like to mention this aspect because I think at least some people might care if the workers that produce the gadgets can life by their own hands work and don't endanger their lives during the production. And there are projects that accepted the challenge in ensuring sustainable production:

• computer mouse NagerIT
• Fairphone

Another aspect is a green / ecological production of the device. So energy saving methods and to avoid the waste of energy and materials. Additionally it should be modular and easy to repair/upgrade/extend/... and at the end of lifetime easy to recycle.

Don't get me wrong. I know both goals are pretty hard to achieve and will result in a lot of compromises. But hey, if Jolla wants to become an alternative, alternative approach should get a chance, too :-)
