I once ran a bunch of calculations on the carbon impact of storing things online. There’s a real impact.

Compared to impact of our transportation and food choices, it’s not huge. Though all aspects of carbon emissions are worth addressing.

Some of the big tech companies are aggressively working towards being carbon neutral or carbon negative, including Microsoft, Google and Apple.

We each move the needle some one way or the other ourselves with our daily transportation and food choices… as well as how many more photos we store in the cloud!
