✩ Tips on How to Reduce the Carbon Emissions of Your Digital Activities - Hannah Smith (@hanopcan)

Did you know that the internet is thought to produce about the same carbon emissions as the aviation industry's fuel consumption? And if the internet was a country it would be the seventh biggest polluter in the world. Shocking isn't?

Digital technology provides wonderful opportunities to reach and engage with others, often in ways that aren't possible using offline methods. But digital does have a significant environmental cost, which most of us aren't conscious of.

In this session we'll discuss why & how digital technologies have an environmental impact, and we'll share ideas on how to reduce that impact.

We'll be using the Big Orange Heart's (https://www.bigorangeheart.org/) event platform for this event. This is available to everyone who is RSVP'd at https://live.bigorangeheart.org/.
