It sounds strange, but it's real. Every email, photo and file you store in the cloud sits on a server in a data centre. Those servers run hot, and many data centres use water to keep them cool. The more we store, the harder they work.
It's National Water Week, so here's a simple way your business can help:
1. Clear out old emails with large attachments you'll never open again.
2. Delete duplicate files and old drafts from your cloud storage.
3. Unsubscribe from newsletters you never read.
4. Close accounts and tools your business no longer uses.
One business won't change the world alone. But thousands of Aussie businesses tidying up their digital clutter adds up.
It's the kind of practical, everyday sustainability we champion with our partners at GreenHeart Trust. π§
