The campaign to reduce the use of the mobile phone is aimed at raising awareness among the young population. To this end, mobile addiction has been linked to the #fridaysforfuture student movement that advocates taking action against climate change, the #fridaysforunplug has been born in parallel to provide its grain of sand in the environmental problem of the century
The FridaysForUnplug campaign has two calculators, one basic and one more detailed, measuring the CO2 generated through the use of mobile applications and services. We find it hard to see the co2 generated by the use of mobile, compared to the direct pollution of a car or an airplane, but quantitatively the co2 generated by the use of the mobile is equivalent to the entire aviation sector. This is due to the electricity spent by the network of data centers, modems, etc., which makes it possible for the internet to exist as we know it.
For these reason we propose the #fridaysforunplug campaign that aims to reduce the use of mobile in our society, starting with ourselves.
Start for yourself to be the change we demand from the rulers and expand awareness about the carbon footprint of cloud applications!
