Internet’s Footprint Dilemmas
Climate Garden meets Technologia Incognita: Internet’s Footprint Dilemmas
In cooperation between KasKantine and RIPE Community, hosted by a hackerspace in (h)ACTA, we will explore questions of:
- digital development’s impact on the planet: how much pollution, extraction and consumption is possible within planetary limits;
- carbon footprint, water/energy/minerals consumption, e-waste
- what benefits of digitalisation are justified - compared to older, more traditional ways of communication.
- possible (partial) solutions such as low-tech, reduce/reuse/recycle practices, policies within Internet Governance, and political actions.
To follow up, join UnCiv mailing list: https://UnCiv.NL
