The Perfect Storm of the Internet

This article suggests that increased internet use is causing problems not only for its own very existence, but also, because of the copious amounts of electricity needed to run it, the climate! Does this mean I should stop using it, or does it mean what seems sensible anyway, don't use it too much?! It's no subsitute for face to face or even phone contact anyway!!

Leo Hickman, author of 'A Good Life - Guide to Ethical Living' has commented on it as well on Comment is free, for some reason I can't copy and paste the link, why is that? Search for: 'Don't take my internet away' instead!
