Is your digital life harming the planet – without you even realising?
From streaming the latest shows to backing up files and using AI tools like ChatGPT, our digital lives are bigger than ever. But behind every click is a hidden carbon cost. Global data centres now use more electricity each year than most countries (IEA, 2025).
This autumn, join the Mindful Tech Challenge. Running from October to December, it’s your chance to reflect on your tech habits and take action, all while earning points and rewards.
Take on simple, impactful activities like:
- Slimming down your cloud storage
- Using AI tools more mindfully
- Cutting back on e-waste by decluttering devices
- Exploring the hidden impact of tech in our new, interactive eLearning module
Every action helps reduce your digital carbon footprint. And you won’t be doing it alone: you’ll be part of a growing community taking steps toward a greener future.
Take part in the challenge, earn points, and unlock rewards. Let’s make our digital lives work better for the planet.
