The Shift Project, a Paris-based think tank dedicated to a low-carbon future, has concluded in a report that all online videos from around the world emit over 300 million tons of carbon dioxide a year. That’s one percent of the total annual global emissions. Furthermore the amount of GHGs generated by the energy needed to transmit music for streaming is estimated to be between 200 and 350 million kilograms.
So I have a question for all of the children that skipped school on Friday to march in the climate change extravaganza demanding that someone do something about global warming which they say is stealing their futures. Would you be willing to give up your cellphones to help to save the planet? To do something real and meaningful instead of simply demanding that someone else take care of the problem.
