Earth Definition
In human history, we’ve never streamed, zoomed, and scrolled more than right now. With 10 million metric tons of CO2e per year created by YouTube alone, it represents a rapidly growing energy footprint. Cue ‘Earth Definition’, an initiative that shines a light on the scale of carbon emissions caused by online streaming. The initiative asks online video streamers to change their streaming settings from HD down to ’ED’ and save 75% of their streaming energy and carbon. It’s time to start asking less of our pixels for the sake of the planet.
