The problem of the intangible pollution of the web
Digital (un)Sustainability
One of the most polluting online actions you can do is video calling. An hour of video calling takes around 7,2 GB of online traffic and causes between 150 grams and 1 kg of CO₂ emission.
Mindful Meet is focused on how to offset the digital waste of video calling.
Focusing on sustainable video calls with a 3-point intervention in planning, having, and reflecting on your daily meetings. Being mindful about our consumption of resources, ourselves, and, as a result, about our planet
The reality of video calling and the provocative nature of Mindful meet
Video calling is necessary for today's world but is an overused commodity. Most people say 50% of their meetings could be emails, and many people don’t feel engaged and productive in online meetings. Mindful Meet asks you to set your personal budget for meetings, check on coworkers' mental availability, and use emission-saving filters of adaptable lower resolution and spotlighting speakers.
Saving 50% of emission with easy steps
If the internet were a country, it would be the sixth most polluting country in the world. With Mindfull Meet we can shave off an estimated 50% of emissions during video calling itself, and by stimulating shorter meetings with fewer people, we offer accessible steps for a better mind and planet.
Take away
How many meetings do we really need for online connection, and how long should they be? How many of those pixels do you actually need?
