Doesnt sending even this message use up some bit of power/electricity?
Then naturally the storage of it will as well until some copies it elsewhere which I would presume would use up a tiny bit more. Eventually of course the hardware will have to be destroyed much of which goes unscaled though it does contain precious and expensive metals in it, typically it just ends up in some 3rd world country somewhere. Yet that part does have to be replaced which is more energy and more metals and plastics and stuff. Then eventually people will need to lay more fiber and well they may have to disrupt some tree's or whatnot to due it and all.
But hey at least tree's are renewable and using paper is actually good for tree's despite the odd logic in that.
Ok yes I am being sarcastic in the first paragraph. I am kind of upset to have recently learned my handwriting has gone to shit from to much typing.
