Sursiendo, along with May First Movement Technology, is researching action strategies to embed environmental sustainability into autonomous internet communications infrastructure projects. Drawing on participatory methodology based on conversations with autonomous and community-based providers, this report documents current sustainable practices already in place, key obstacles, future projections and speculative ideas toward environmental justice. Groups emphasize shared infrastructures, hardware longevity, free software, and collective approaches. Challenges include dominant narratives about “unlimited resources,” limited time to experiment, centralized infrastructures and lack of repairable hardware. The report highlights the importance of collaborative action and radical imagination to create technologies more committed to the protection of life.
