What if technology served to preserve rather than deplete ?
Rethinking digital solutions means designing them with care, in a fairer, more sustainable way that takes account of our planet's needs. Because innovation doesn't have to cost the earth.
With this in mind, we urgently need to make the right choices about how we use our equipment, and opt for greater #sobriety in order to reduce the environmental impact of digital technology ! 💬⏳
🛠️ Protecting our devices, taking care of them and keeping them for a long time is one of the most effective ways of reducing our daily impact. So, what's the oldest device you still own ? Share your record ! 🏅
🚨 Imagine, if digital technology were a country, it would emit as much greenhouse gas as 5.5 times France or 2 times Canada. Does that shock you ? So are we ! 🤯
