Do Just One Thing

Danny Seo on

Have you ever been prompted to upgrade your cloud storage because it’s “full”? Consider hitting "no." Data centers are massive energy consumers, responsible for up to 4% of global greenhouse gas emissions -- and that number is growing. Yet nearly 90% of the data we store is never used. Known as “dark data,” it consists of redundant or obsolete files that simply sit on servers. Take time to delete what you don’t need, and enable settings that automatically remove files after a set period to help shrink your digital footprint.
