List of ressources to reduce our digital energy footprint

The Internet consumes about 8% of the electricity produced in the world and emits about 3% of greenhouse gases.

The manufacture of the various devices that form the internet's eco-system (from smartphones to datacenters, passing through 4G antennas) is also a consumer of water and particularly polluting and destructive for the extraction of the metals that make up all these digital tools.

Reducing the amount of data and the use of the Internet is one way of limiting the significant growth of digital pollution. About 55% of the electricity is consumed when used by devices, antennas or data centers.

This page references resources available to reduce the bandwidth and/or energy consumption of our devices, especially when using the Internet.
