Digital Carbon Footprint : Must Know, Must Be Aware


Data transfer, use and production of digital devices causes more CO₂ emissions than one might expect. These emissions are summarised under the terms “digital CO₂ footprint” or “digital carbon footprint”.

 

ডিজিটাল ডিভাইসের উৎপাদন, ব্যবহার এবং ডেটা স্থানান্তর কারও প্রত্যাশার চেয়ে বেশি CO₂ নির্গমন ঘটায়।  এই নির্গমনগুলি "ডিজিটাল CO₂ পদচিহ্ন" বা "ডিজিটাল কার্বন পদচিহ্ন" পদগুলির অধীনে সংক্ষিপ্ত করা হয়েছে।


The Carbon Footprint of our gadgets amounts of 3.7% of global greenhouse emissions, which is more than the amount produced by the aviation industry, and it is set to double by 2025

A five hour video call between people in different countries could produce up to 215kg CO2

Sending a SMS text is apparently the most environmentally friendly way of conversing. Only emit 0.014g of CO2. But sending a single Selfie on WhatsApp can emit 5g of CO2. Which is more than a regular email.

A study done by OVO energy in 2019 found that if every adult in UK sent one less thank you email a day it would save nearly 16,500 tonnes of CO2 a year.

Netflix :
Every minute, the world streams
1.1M hours = 4120 tons Co2
It's equivalent to driving 896 cars for a whole year. 

Emails:
Every minute, the world sends
203 million emails = 816 tons Co2
same as taking 494 flights from LA to London.




We cannot neglect the difference we can make individually especially when it comes to our social media habits
