Eco-friendly Data: Compress to Save Energy
Digital carbon footprint is real. How smaller files contribute to a greener internet.
The Cloud Uses Coal
We think of the internet as magical air, but it runs on physical servers that consume massive amounts of electricity for cooling and processing.
The Data Transfer Cost
Every time you stream a 1GB video, that data has to travel through routers, switches, and sub-sea cables, all of which use power. The larger the file, the higher the energy cost.
Compressed = Green
By compressing your video from 500MB to 50MB before you share it, you generate 10x less network traffic. If everyone did this, the global energy reduction would be significant.
