🌍 It’s Digital Cleanup Day! 🗑️📱 Once a year we are reminded of the classic tips to declutter our digital space: delete emails, close tabs, clear cookies, and so on. While these are helpful, why don’t we make them a regular habit? Is it because we don’t truly understand the magnitude of these small contributions? Here are some eye-opening facts to help put the concept of digital clutter into perspective: -- One email emits, on average, 4g of CO2 = the carbon footprint of a light bulb turned on for 6 minutes! -- The Internet produces more than 900 million tons of CO2 each year! -- In 2022, about 70 million servers were used to store data. Each one caused the production of 1–2 tons of CO2. In that year, about 20 million of them became e-waste. -- 90% of all data is never accessed 3 months after it is stored. 🧹In our increasingly digital world, it’s easy to overlook the impact of e-waste. Today, let’s take a moment to clean up our digital spaces! There’s much to be done from organizing our email inboxes… to donating unused laptops to the 100k Laptop initiative! 💻The 100K Laptop Initiative, run by and in collaboration with Human-I-T, is aimed to collect, refurbish and redistribute unused laptops to new homes. Every step helps us stay productive, secure, and mindful of our digital footprint. 🌱Check out the list below for some simple digital cleanup tips that you can incorporate into your DAILY routine, and consider donating your unused technology today⬇️  https://lnkd.in/eNjRzuXN #DigitalCleanupDay #Productivity #Cybersecurity #DigitalDeclutter #TechWellness #SustainableIT
