Digital Minimalism: Decluttering Your Tech Life for a Greener Planet

Behind every tap, scroll, and stream lies a carbon footprint. While often overlooked, the digital world consumes massive amounts of energy—from data centers to device production. Practicing digital minimalism is a win for both mental clarity and the environment.

The Hidden Costs of Your Tech Use

• Data centers contribute to 2% of global emissions—and rising
• Streaming HD video uses more energy than you think
• Constant upgrades create e-waste that’s hard to recycle
• Email overload means unnecessary storage and energy use

Tips to Digitally Declutter

• Unsubscribe from unused newsletters and services
• Delete old files from cloud storage
• Use low-power modes and turn off devices overnight
• Limit streaming quality when HD isn’t needed
• Extend your device’s life with repairs instead of replacements

A Clearer Mind, A Cleaner Planet
