lol, "destroying the environment". News flash: shifting the environmental costs to China is not "saving the environment", it is just outsourcing the environmental damage to somewhere else, where more likely than not worse damage will occur than if the factory was located in Europe. If there was a general call to not use chips, it would be a different matter. But this is about personal sanctimony, not environmental impact.

Moreover the environment is not some fragile thing that is "destroyed" by a chip plant. So here, too, there is a lack of understanding about what is happening so that people can make claims of personal righteousness (and the "environment" is just a place-holder that can and is swapped out for other concerns that yield more self-righteousness credits per unit effort at the drop of a hat).
