Did you know the Internet emits more CO₂ than global aviation?

I’m on a mission to fight digital waste —bit by bit. 

Digital waste, the pollution caused by our digital infrastructure, processes, and everyday habits, seems largely invisible. However, its CO₂ footprint has serious consequences for our planet.

If the Internet were a country, it would rank as the fourth largest polluter.

Don’t worry — I’m not about to suggest we go back to carrier pigeons. The good news? There are many ways to reduce digital waste. A powerful one being the way we design our web.

My work 

During my Master’s in Digital Design, one of my projects won the Sustainability Award from the Green Office, sparking discussions with Dutch political parties on how to bring digital waste onto the government's agenda.

Since then, I’ve been doing:

Consultancy

Giving tailored talks to organisations and businesses about how to use technology smarter, not less.

Advocacy

Writing, publishing and contributing to media discussions. With my work featured in De Volkskrant, BNR Nieuwsradio, De Dikke Data Show (VPRO), and Wat houdt ons tegen (HUMAN).

Politics

Collaborating with Partij voor de Dieren on green policies. 

I continue to learn about green web design and aim to spread sustainable practices across the digital world.
