Digital Design in the Age of Sustainability
The internet has a tangible ecological footprint. Physical networks and servers consume energy—as does their cooling.
Every use, such as loading text or video content, generates CO2. The IT sector is responsible for 3.9% of global emissions—comparable to the footprint of South Korea or Germany.
