Ok, how many times a day do we search for something on the Internet?
Raise your hand if you ever searched for your name, or for amazing information like how many hairs an average dog has.
The WWW made our lives simpler, faster and, let's say it, funnier.
Nevertheless, have you ever thought where all these crazy information are stored?
We have to get in the mindset that this endless space comes to a price.
Of course, the "cloud" isn't an actual fluffy cloud.
There are servers around the world where all the massive quantity of our (often useless) information are collected and stored.
These servers run constantly 24/7, the A/C they need to be cooled generate a considerable amount of CO2. 你知道我们每天在互联网上搜索多少次吗？
如果你曾搜索过自己的名字，或是“一条狗有多少毛发”这样有趣的信息，请举手！
网络让我们的生活变得更简单，更快捷，直接点说是：更有意思。
不过，你有没有想过所有这些巨量的信息都存储在哪里？
这些无尽的空间，其实是需要付出代价的。
当然，网络“云”并不是一朵真正的蓬松的棉花云。
世界各地都有服务器，收集和存储了大量的信息，但大多是无用的。
这些服务器7天24小时运行，需要空调冷却，这产生大量的二氧化碳。
So, from where to start to reduce the footprint of your digital routine?
We are all familiar with the thousand of unopened emails jamming our account, subscriptions that we made and we don't even remember how, when or why.
Well, do yourself and the environment a favor: DELETE ALL OF THEM and UNSUBSCRIBE.
If you haven't read them so far, what makes you believe you will read them any time soon. A little self-analysis: do you want to be constantly updated about every newspaper you read?
Breath and appreciate the satisfying feeling of no longer being overwhelmed by red notification as you get into your email.
那么，从哪里开始减少数据的占用空间？
我们都熟悉数千封未开的电子邮件的经历吧？ 有些电子邮件我们甚至不记得何时、如何或为何订阅的。
好吧，那就帮自己和环境一个忙：删除所有没用的电子邮件和取消订阅。
如果你到目前为止还没有读过它们，那你还觉得会去再读么？ 设想一下如果是过期报纸的话，你还会回过头去读旧闻吗？
当你清理完，再次打开邮箱时，就可以深呼吸， 好好享受不被红点通知压得透不过气的感觉了。
Use an Internet search engine that converts its footprint into eco-values. How?
Ecosia.org is a Berlin-based engine that plant a tree on every 45 searches on average.
They claim to tranform 47% of their monthly revenues coming from the pop-up advertisings into trees planting. So, after eliminating their operation costs, marketing activities, and reinvestments, they direct their surplus to cooperate with no-profit organization around the world that help them in reforesting those habitats in serious threat.
Their financial statements are public and for everyone to read. On YouTube, there are numerous videos available comparing Google renewable energy source with Ecosia business model, yet powered by Microsoft resources.
So far, we believe in Ecosia revolutionary idea that profit can be reinvested in saving the planet and great news!, can be used without a VPN!
互联网搜索引擎还能转换为生态价值？
Ecosia.org是一个来自于柏林的搜索引擎，平均每45次搜索就会生成一棵树。
他们声称将47％的月收入从弹出式广告转变为种植树木。因此，减去他们的运营成本，营销活动和再投资之后，他们的盈余用来与世界各地的非营利组织合作， 帮助他们在受到严重威胁的栖息地上重新造林。
他们的财务报表是公开的，每个人都可以查阅。在YouTube上，他们有许多关于谷歌再生能源与Ecosia商业模式的视频，而资源支持则由微软提供。
到目前为止，我们相信Ecosia革命性的想法，即利润可以再投资于拯救地球。
好消息，Ecosia在没有VPN的情况下也可使用！
Another thing you can do, if you love watching videos and tv-series, choose wisely one single provider without subscribing them all. They not only are among the biggest CO2 producers, but also time wasting monsters.
Stop scrolling your phone, close all those apps and get out to enjoy the nature.
Yet, we are not saying that technology is bad. Zer’0 Waste Shanghai itself and all the amazing movements born around the planet protection couldn’t be possible without the support of the social network.
We simply need to take control over our habits, and if necessary switch for different service if this can help protecting the planet, and our lives too. 如果你喜欢看视频和电视剧，还可以做一件事： 与其订阅各种频道，不如选择一家或少数几家媒体。 要知道，视频与电视剧不仅产生大量的二氧化碳，而且还是浪费时间的杀手！
别再刷手机了，关闭各种APP，出去享受大自然吧。
当然，我们并没有说科技不好。如果没有社交与网络的支持， 零浪费本身以及各种时代发展都是不可能的。
为了能够保护地球和我们的生活，
我们只需在必要时改变一点习惯和生活方式！
