How digital is killing our planet and what we can do about it. Digital is physical. Every byte is supported by an atom. Every single action in digital costs the Earth energy. Turn the electricity off and you turn digital off. Digital is demanding an increasing share of the Earth’s energy and resources and is a major contributor to the generation of toxic trash, to a culture of disposability, convenience and the most wasteful behavior ever seen in human history.
World Wide Waste focuses on data waste, e-waste, and the material, energy and pollution impact of digital. It will look at ways to reduce data, reduce e-waste, and reduce digital material use, energy consumption and pollution production.
There will be 48 issues every year for an annual subscription of €10.
The payment is for the subscription to the email newsletter. World Wide Waste can be read for free on the Web:
