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

I fight against digital waste: the pollution that is emitted by our digital acts.

On a micro-level this is personal technology usage, like sending e-mails and streaming. Every click, scroll and swipe on the Internet cost a little bit of energy. On a macro-level, this is the energy consumption of the 24/7 running data centres that facilitate our technology.

Trust me, I’m the last person saying we should go back in time and get rid of it all. But the good news is: there are lots of ways to decrease our digital waste – one of them being by the way we design.
