Happy EarthDay 2020 from.EarthDay 1989 when a broad coalition gathered at IBM in San Jose to protest the fact that they were the largest CFC polluter in the US - we marched to IBM and kids tied ribbons to their gate inscribed with pleas to save the ozone layer #ClimateJustice

I like this article, but it doesn't go back far enough in the tech history to make the connections to the early days when the "big guys" like Intel, HP, Fairchild, etc self-promoted as the "clean industry" but were exposed as having a toxic underbelly -
Between plummeting valuations, mass layoffs and the Twitter saga, last year was a disastrous one for big tech—but that disaster was entirely predictable, and a long time coming. 2023 wasn't a bump in the road, it was a reckoning.

this is a very important report - it's also true that that way too many employers never even inform their workers about the chemical hazards that they work with.
The chemical industry claims workers can rely on Safety Data Sheets to keep safe, but that’s predicated on them being accurate. SPOILER ALERT: They aren’t. See what a @letsclearya and @BGAlliance analysis reveals! #OSHA #WorkplaceSafety #WorkersRighttoKnow.
