I really fail to understand how you can push "light technology" while using a modern computer connected to the Internet - both are very very far away from being light in terms of technology involved. In fact the technology making both run is incredibly complex/sophisticated with a high environmental impact resulting from production, assembly and shipping of components required to make it work.

Wanna go light? Ditch your computer, phone and most of electronic/digital devices you use every day (for a start, then follow up with car and basically anything that depends on "heavy technology" to exist and run). But that is probably not the lifestyle you're imagining ATM.
