Digital pollution is agrowing concern at the European level.
According to studies, the digital sector has an important impact in Europe. In fact, the digital sector represents 8 to 10% of energetic consumption and between 2 to 4% of greenhouse gas emissions at the European level.
Our digital world plays a major role in today’s society, but we are now confronted with new challenges, such as digital pollution.
To address these issues, several methods and best practices can be employed, such as digital decluttering, green tech choices, mindful consumption, digital literacy education, and more.
Digital sustainability aims to reduce the environmental and social impact of the digital sector while promoting good practices.

The In-DigiT project offers an alternative.
With the In-DigiTproject (Inclusive and responsible Digitalisation in Training), we aim to implement an ethical and sustainable digital transformation within training centres.
To fully benefit from the new digital era, we seek to introduce and promote good practices that are environmentally friendly, inclusive, and socially responsible.The uniqueness of this project lies in its focus on supporting trainers, teachers, and IT staff by placing them at the centre of this change. The project will also raise awareness across Europe, as resources will be available in multiple languages (English, Italian, French, Bulgarian, and Greek).
By promoting initiatives that address digital pollution, we can work towards a more responsible and sustainable digital world for both ourselves and future generations.
Stay on the lookout for updates on the project’s first result – a guide featuring 50 best practices from European organisations and individuals who apply digital sustainability initiatives in their work and practice!
