DigitalOcean is hosting another Hacktober fest, giving away free t-shirt to those who make pull requests to any open source project.Hacktober fest is only a corporate-sponsored spam fest that gets abused by people who wants everything that's free, even though they don't need it.The creation of one t-shirt uses 4.5 kg CO2e, 0.8 kg chemicals and about 2600 liters of water.We have already drained the forth largest lake in the world due to cotton production. When are we going to learn?

@anderscs I know, but realistically speaking, do you really think that more than a couple of them will go for the second option?

@hund I always thought Hacktober fest was a bit odd. I might participate for the tree option if that really is a thing.
