    As a counterpoint to your landfill comment, if a movie is played 5 times off of the same blu ray disc or streamed 5 times from the Disney+ servers which is more environmentally harmful?

    It doesn’t take much energy to press a disc and once the disc is pressed, it could theoretically be viewed for at least several decades to hundred of years if stored correctly.

    The threshold for one blu ray disc to be more environmentally friendly than a streaming movie is 4 views. Source: Ars Technica
