Students at the university where I worked before retirement researched the environmental impact of PCs. Their conclusion: manufacturing is the most important part of the environmental impact. Using a PC consumes electricity, but even when a PC is kept in use for 10 years, the impact of that is still small compared to the impact of manufacturing.

I don’t think that in this regard, there is not much difference between PCs and laptops.

Mailo.com is a privacy friendly email provider in France. As far as I know they do only email.

Recently they upped the prices a bit, my account is from before that, and payed 60 euro for five years.

I have the cheapest Gilette, and am using it for a number of years now. Have used about 7 or 8 replacement blades.

My experience is that you only cut yourself when the blade starts to become blunt. So I try to replace the blade just before that :)

I only use some shaving cream (cheapest at the supermarket), and shave before I hit the shower, where the shaving cream is flushed away. No after shave or other stuff from the cosmetic industry.
