Greenwashing Memes

Nothing says "corporate responsibility" like removing a $5 bracket from your GPU packaging and calling it environmentalism. You know, because that tiny piece of plastic was definitely the problem—not the fact that we're shipping 4-pound hunks of silicon and rare earth metals that require entire mining operations and consume enough power to heat a small apartment. But hey, let's jack up the price while we're at it and slap a "reduced carbon footprint" sticker on the box. The GPU will still sag without that bracket, but at least the shareholders can feel good about themselves during earnings calls. Classic greenwashing: take away something useful, charge more, and act like you're saving polar bears. Your graphics card might droop like a sad banana, but think of the turtles!
