Did you know?
Despite being held in the “cloud”, your data (pictures, videos, music, etc) still needs to be physically stored on a device somewhere.
Companies offering Cloud services need to have huge warehouses filled with servers which are running 24/7/365.
These data centres are extremely polluting. They consume huge amounts of electricity 24/7 and require robust A/C systems to keep all these servers at the right temperature without overheating.
Reduce your footprint by asking yourself: Do I really need all the files I hold on the Cloud? If you have old files that you don’t need, delete them! It will reduce the storage needed and your footprint 
Easy!
