What you can do right now
A one-minute web search uses 100 watts on a desktop computer, 20 watts on a laptop, a few watts on a tablet and even fewer on a phone.
A router uses 6 times more electricity than a television. Do not leave your router on standby if you are not using it. You will save around €30 per year.
A virtuous circle of daily action
INDEPENDENCE
By using technology as a tool rather than resorting to it reflexively, you can take a certain degree of control back.
TAKE CARE
The development of digital technologies has led to lower attention spans (decreased immediate memory) in users.
HEALTH
Less screentime improves your sleep hygiene, makes your lifestyle less sedentary and leaves more time for physical activity.
