As our lives and work increasingly move online, it becomes crucial to approach the internet with the same sustainable and mindful practices we apply to other aspects of life. We need to create sustainable digital habits. While the environmental impact of vast data servers and the accumulation of outdated digital information often goes unnoticed, it has tangible consequences. Every action counts — and collectively, we can foster healthier digital habits that benefit both our well-being and the planet.

This series explores key strategies to enhance your online work experience while reducing your environmental footprint and supporting mental clarity.

According to Gerry McGovern (Digital is garbage)

• 90% of data is never accessed again after 90 days.

• 80% of downloaded apps are abandoned within 90 days.

• 90% of all existing data was created in just the past two years

By understanding and addressing these patterns, we can build a more efficient, sustainable, and conscious digital environment.
