Digital pollution
Digital pollution
Digital pollution, or web pollution, is a term used to describe the environmental impact of using digital technologies. Digital pollution can include emissions of greenhouse gases associated with the production, use and disposal of digital devices, as well as the use of non-renewable energy to power data centers and telecommunications networks.
Digital pollution can have a significant impact on the environment, particularly if sustainable practices are not adopted in the production and use of digital technologies. To reduce digital pollution, it is important to adopt sustainable practices such as using renewable energy to power data centers, responsibly disposing of outdated devices and implementing energy-saving practices in the use of digital technologies.
