The digital age has a hidden cost that often goes unnoticed: every click we make online consumes energy. Whether it's streaming a video, saving a file in the cloud, or sending an email, these seemingly small actions add up to significant energy usage on a global scale. Fortunately, tech companies are now taking steps to address this issue by making their operations more environmentally friendly. This includes running data centers on renewable energy sources, creating devices with longer life spans, and optimizing code and cloud storage to minimize waste. Sustainability in the tech industry is not about stifling innovation; it's about fostering smarter and more eco-conscious practices. By rethinking how we engage with digital technologies, we can all play a part in reducing our environmental footprint. Have you made any changes to your digital habits to lessen your impact on the environment?
