Planetary Health — Cyberpunk.gg

Description

The same technological infrastructure driving everything else has a physical cost that is easy to ignore from behind a screen. Data centers consume more electricity than most countries. Rare earth mining for consumer electronics devastates local ecosystems. E-waste is one of the fastest growing waste streams on the planet. Meanwhile, the companies responsible for the largest environmental footprints are also the ones selling the solutions: carbon capture technology, clean energy investments, and sustainability pledges that often amount to accounting tricks. The climate is changing, the resource math is getting harder, and the relationship between technological growth and environmental cost is one that nobody has figured out how to resolve. Planetary Health covers the collision between technological civilization and the physical systems that support it.
