The internet causes pollution

Due to the large quantities of electricity it requires to keep operational, the internet actually has a large carbon footprint. Many people don’t realize that between 3 and 20 computers need to be using electricity at any one time to get a single web page to your screen.

• Your own computer is obviously needed to present to you each website. 1 computer does not make much difference, however when billions and billions of computers are turned on at any one time, this adds up.
• Every website requires one or more web servers which are turned on 24-7. These web servers require extensive cooling which is like keeping an air conditioner on all day every day.
• In between the web server and your computer, several network hubs are using electricity to pass the web page from one city around the planet to another until it arrives at your screen.
