Building on the Sustainable Libraries Initiative webinar regarding AI and the environment, Sarah Tribelhorn will explore how personal digital habits directly impact the world around us. Storing vast amounts of data requires significant energy; by deleting unnecessary files and emails, you can reduce energy consumption and lower your carbon footprint. Furthermore, reducing the amount of data we store lessens the need for the massive hardware housed in data centers, helping to minimize e-waste and extend the lifespan of your personal devices. In addition to environmental sustainability, this webinar will focus on how a “digital detox” supports your mental well-being. A cluttered digital environment often leads to feelings of overwhelm, whereas clearing out digital “junk” can reduce stress and anxiety, improve focus, and boost mental clarity. We will guide you through simple, actionable steps to start your journey, such as deleting unused apps, organizing and deleting duplicate photos, and clearing out downloads, documents and trash folders to free up space. By the end of this session, you will have the tools to foster sustainable digital habits that benefit both your productivity and the planet.
