Exploring Digital Waste in Technology and Supply Chains, the Cloud, Why Digital Waste is Dirty and the Environmental Impacts It Has in the World We Share

For the 50th Anniversary of Earth Day, Episode 16 is all about
digital waste! Digital waste has grown exponentially over the
last decade as the storage of data, like e-mails, pictures, audio
and video files have shifted to “the cloud". Guess what…the
cloud is a physical place! Each day we generate more and
more data and your digital footprint requires huge amounts of
server space and energy. A part of any digital footprint may be
described as digital waste. We explore this concept, what it is,
where it happens in supply chain and technology decisions, and
how you can help. 


Just think about all the data that you have created online that
you no longer use. Almost everything we do online increases
our carbon footprint. We share some fun facts about everyday
scenarios that bring awareness to your digital carbon
footprint and most importantly, easy tips you can use to
live waste-free (or make a step in the right direction).
