Razer Commits to a Greener, More Sustainable Future for All to Game In

[MIRTAZAPINE]

Companies care about the environment? Doubt it. This very system is built on pollution.

True. The best way to help the environment is actually to reduce consumption by buying less. Reducing is way more efficient than recycling which take alot of energy to do. Of course that does not work for business that need continuous sale. Basically environmentalism about recycling is more of a PR image of eco friendly rather than truely being beneficial.

So what Razer is saying: "We will now make you pay $500 for a mouse and keyboard, while making it out of junk." *Cackles maniacally*

I live in the hydro-powered pacific northwest, so I gots me an automatic "entitled to give a f" card.

I wish I had room for it in my wallet...

Go Razer! That's why I like Kawasaki, they have very green motorbikes.

What is that like? Can you tap into some free electricity? Is it very noisy when the wind picks up? Do dead birds litter the ground?

Actually my farmer neighbour has a small one of his own that has a super annoying whine....no birds but electricity is relatively inexpensive

The greenest thing to do would be to perhaps produce less.... Do we really need a new model of everything every year? Or twice a year in Intel's case? Producing less and consuming less is something that can be done right now, doesn't require any logistical issues and would have by far the most impact. I read a great book recently called "Techno-Fix: Why Technology Won't Save Us Or the Environment" and it really gets to the root of the issue, namely that the majority of people have an almost religious-like faith in the belief that technology will miraculously solve the environmental crisis, even though there's no evidence to support it.

I live on 600watts of solar panels when ever I'm at home. But my work vehicle gets 5mpg but 80k lbs.

Yeah I’ve be meaning to suggest solar to my landlord but I live very close to the North Sea and it’s more likely to be cloudy or raining most days. Pretty sure our current hydro provider has deals. I mean I personally use about 600kw/h a month with winter peaks of 900 for maybe a couple months but/generally the price is around 1kr per KW/h so its very/reasonablly priced IMO
Gas on the other hand avg $1.77/l with diesel being sligh cheaper I have a kinda sp car with a small 2 cylinder diesel. when it# running well I get 400km out of my 14L tank. I just recently had a pretty big engine service and haven‘t run my tank down to check my milage but I pretty much fill it once a month.

What a joke, Razer gear comes in more plastic packaging than any other brand, and as others here have said, the quality is junk.

My Chroma keyboard was losing keys a year after I bought it, and I'm not exactly heavy handed on it as I don't game (I just wanted an RGB keyboard because I'm into LEDs and colours). I replaced it with an MSI GK50, which came in a cardboard box, no plastic except the dust cover, which is actually a good idea, although they could leave it out as most people won't use it.

Same for my Razer mouse, wouldn't track on my computer desk at all, would only track on very specific surfaces like woven mouse pads, which I don't use as the computer desk has a mouse-friendly surface (unless you buy Razer!). I went back to Logitech (M585) and all perfect.

I highly recommend that everyone give Razer a wide berth, don't buy any of their crap, there are many better brands, without the ripoff prices.

Pacific Northwest............so Alaska?

Where's that? I don't know about what people think about those wind turbines, but I think they're an eyesore.

I absolutely love the:m and I noticed the other day they’ve built another one a bit further North. It’s Norway but you share the same opinion of most Norwegians. I like the contrast of nature and tech.

I mean they are less of an eye sore than the competition, IMO. Power plants don't win beauty pagents.

Exactly they are clean energy. Norway uses Hydroelectric and Wind which is fantastic.

I think the river it replaced probably looked nicer.

In the end dams are still just blocks of concrete.
