What I like about them is that they have a very positive attitude, they're not about doing "less damage", but about actually improving things in positive sense.

"Zero carbon footprint" isn't exactly relative terms, and getting laptops/telephones isn't mutually exclusive from game boys whether you're doing chipmusic or not. I'm just nitpicking though, I get your point smile

it's just too complex.
But I think re-using old tech instead of blindly buying every new gadget that comes up on the market is a great thing to do.

It has to start small and in multiple areas at once

exactly, making, re-using, counteracting the obsolescence of technology and so on, that's all small starts that can have an impact. And it's not so much about what they do now, it's more about what will develop from it.
So yeah I think the chiptune community is already doing a lot.

It's better to buy an iPad and then use it for as long as you can squeeze something out of it, than buying a low-carbon-footprint one every year smile

People always pine and say bio/economic diversity has to start somewhere. It has to start small and in multiple areas at once. I don't see why chipmusic can't be a part of it:) It's just hard to find the root of all evil here because, well, everything we do/use is made of processed materials. But shoopdawoop gall darn we gotta have a biodiversity spokesperson! Could it be you?!

Solar-powered DMG perhaps?
