DIGITAL CLEANUP DAY IS MARCH 11 - 29, 2024
Adopt A Digital Highway to improve your digital life
In the digital world, similar to the environment, there is a huge amount of trash.
Unnecessary emails, files, apps, duplicates of photos and videos are all digital waste.
This digital waste creates digital pollution that continues to consume energy even when we have forgotten it.
Digital trash sits in the backups on servers that provide us with cloud service and continue consuming electricity.
Each year the internet and its supporting systems produce more than 900 million tons of CO2.
Global energy-related CO2 emissions grew in 2022 by 0.9%, reaching a new high of more than 36.8 billion tonnes
By some calculations, Internet use accounts for 3.7% of global emissions, which is equivalent to all air traffic in the world.
And this figure is expected to double by 2025.
Some studies estimate that the internet network will consume 20 percent of the world’s total energy by 2030.
If we delete all unnecessary files, apps, photos and videos, we are not just saving a huge amount of CO2 but we are also extending the life of our gadgets, feel more balanced, and we take control over our lives, forge new digital habits, and we will be more efficient and satisfied.
Sounds like a win-win!
