Environmental Impacts of Digital Communication with Helen Hayes (Part 2)

Environmental Impacts of Digital Communication with Helen Hayes (Part 2)

Have you ever wondered what your digital and communication habits have on climate change? Especially now with this pandemic-driven shift to remote work and more at-home entertainment, it presents significant environmental impacts due to how internet data is stored and transferred around the world. The majority of the carbon emissions from the Internet comes from the information communications and technology industry, which delivers the internet, video, and cloud services we use on a daily basis. A huge area for improvement is the systems that make up these industries, and is an area of study having a huge resurgence in the academic world. In this eye-opening two-part episode, we interviewed PhD candidate from McGill University, Helen Hayes, to chat about her research on the intersections between tech policy, data collection/digitization, and oil extraction. In Part 2, we continued our conversation on how and who is causing environmental degradation within these industries, mitigation techniques and next steps individuals can do to help, and highlighted the urgent need for a paradigm shift in our discourse on climate change, specifically within the media and journalism.
