I agree with your proposition, that Debian should focus on its goal to
provide a universal operating system. It should not become an activist
group for purposes other than free software. Debian must not participate
in occupying forrests or blocking motorways.
However, I do not see, that if Debian tries to become "carbon neutral"
(or better: just not too bad for the environment) itself, this would be
activism of any form. None of Julians ideas sound like activism to me,
but more like what some companies start to do right now.
I suggest to form an informal team first, where people can gather ideas.
Julian, maybe you can organise a BoF at DebConf about this issue?
I'll be there and be assured, I'll travel by train.
Cheers
