Paper, Towel or Sock — A Ranking of the Most Eco-Friendly Ways to End the Evening

Humanity can spend hours discussing eco-friendly cars, waste separation, and the impact of plastic straws on the future of the planet. Meanwhile, there are topics that are discussed far less often — or only in whispers — even though they concern practically every person on Earth. When the romantic part of the evening comes to an end, the internet suddenly becomes surprisingly reluctant to discuss certain subjects. Nobody publishes carbon footprint rankings for towels, toilet paper rarely appears in climate debates, and the topic of socks remains something of an internet legend. And yet the question itself is...

If every porn video planted one tree, the Amazon would grow back by next week

The world loves talking about ecology. Technology companies publish climate neutrality reports, celebrities show off bamboo toothbrushes, and major platforms increasingly promote their “green” approach to business.

Once people started analyzing the environmental impact of food, clothing, cosmetics, transportation, and technology, similar questions were bound to appear sooner...

Streaming as an intangible service — and its real impact on the environment

Streaming has become as natural to us as turning on a light or checking the weather on our phones. We watch series, sports broadcasts, video podcasts, and live streams, often without even thinking about what is actually happening “behind the screen.” Streaming, although intangible — because it does not produce smoke, generate plastic waste, or leave a factory on a truck — is in reality built on an enormous infrastructure of servers, networks, data centers, and information processing systems. That is exactly why environmental responsibility in the IT industry is becoming increasingly important. Increasingly important for us as...
