Did you know that digital services are thought to produce more carbon emissions than the aviation industry? And if the internet was a country it would be the seventh biggest polluter in the world. The cloud isn’t as fluffy and harmless as we’re led to believe…
Digital technologies do provide wonderful opportunities to reach and engage others, often in ways that simply aren’t possible using offline methods. But digital does have significant hidden environmental costs, which many aren’t conscious of.
In this session, we’ll discuss how digital technologies contribute to climate change and how you can use tech is a more sustainable way, both personally and in your organisation.
I missed this DigiShift but a quick glance through the slides has made it clear that anyone interested in planet earth ? should have been at this one. I'll be seeking out the video in a few days on the SCVO You Tube channel https://t.co/2qjhWmdvJD#sustainability #PlanetEarth https://t.co/Jy76KmYWNX
