Actions for Digital waste 

• Clean the cloud 

Phones and computers hold so many applications, photos, messages and emails that memory never seems to be enough, but lucky for us we have the cloud! But even if we can’t see or touch it with our hands, this data still produces carbon dioxide and digital pollution! Lighten your cloud and dedicate yourself to eliminating some unneeded screenshots, promotional emails, applications that you don't use: Spring Cleaning is important, but so is digital purge!

• Delete files you don't use

The digital sector is one of the great culprits of climate change. Most of the carbon emissions come from the production of smartphones and computers; but electricity usage for servers, file storage and data centers also contribute to CO₂ emissions. If you erase your digital waste, you save electricity and CO₂ and extend the life of your devices! By deleting 50 spam emails, for example, you can save around 15 grams of CO₂: It seems small, but it's always a good start!

• Listen to pre downloaded music

Music has always accompanied our daily lives and if you , like 487 million people in the world, use one of the various streaming services, you must know that each note requires energy, even if it is a fraction of a second, even before the playback starts, a lot of data and energy have already been used‘ As it reaches our devices, it needs an internet connection in order to be heard and that takes a lot of power you might not think about! Choose the songs to listen to in advance and download them to your device, it requires less data and consumes less battery!

• Turn off the camera when you don't need it

It’s good practice that when you participate in a video call, at least during the initial greetings or your talking part to keep the video camera on. But if you're in listening mode, you can also turn it off. Video calls use large amounts of data and energy and, even if we don't realize it, they contribute to greenhouse gas emissions Turning off your camera when you don't need it can reduce your meeting's carbon footprint by 96%

• Share files via links

When you need to send an email involving file sharing, insert a link that refers to the subject rather than adding an attachment. An email with an attachment requires more server space and more data storage space and therefore consumes more energy. To save energy and CO₂, send a link to the recipient instead of several heavy attachments!

• Unsubscribe from newsletters you don't read

Subscribing to useful and interesting newsletters is easier than it seems, and so is unsubscribing! When you receive the newsletters you've subscribed to but haven't read, they remain there in your inbox‘ Don't let them pile up and immediately unsubscribe from the mailing list so you don't receive any more and keep your mail cleaner and tidier,

• Turn off your computer when you are not using it

The end of the working day has arrived, you couldn't wait to close the computer and go and relax! Don't fall into this trap: instead of putting your laptop on standby, turn it off! The computer falls into the category of household appliances that we call energy vampires — that is, they consume energy even when they are not in user It takes you a second to turn it on again the next day, you have saved energy and extended battery life: turn off the computer!

How importante it is not to waste energy. For the bills yes, but especially for the environment.
