The Invisible Waste We Carry — Join the Global Livestream 1 March

As Antoine de Saint-Exupéry wrote in The Little Prince: “What is essential is invisible to the eye.”

Digital waste, too, is largely invisible. Yet the energy behind it is real — and so is the opportunity to reduce it.

Join the Digital Cleanup Livestream: 1 March, 11:00 AM (UTC)

We invite you to join a global livestream on 1 March at 11:00 AM (UTC) to explore the hidden cost of digital waste, why it matters, and the practical steps you can take through Digital Cleanup Day.

Register for the Facebook livestream today, then share the event within your networks and add it to your calendar.

Take It Further — Digital Cleanup Day Training

For those who would like to move beyond awareness and create tangible change, the Digital Cleanup Day Training combines theory with practical action.

Led by Heidi Solba, President of Let’s Do It World, the course provides practical, hands-on guidance on reducing digital clutter. The session ensures that participants leave not only informed and inspired, but equipped to implement meaningful changes in their digital environments.

Participation is by donation. Contributions support the development of educational content, global coordination and outreach that bring Digital Cleanup Day to communities around the world, helping to keep the movement accessible and impactful.

After registering and selecting a session date, participants will receive a Zoom link by email, along with an official certificate of participation.

Why This Matters

Consider your wardrobe. We keep clothes that no longer fit, pieces we have not worn in over a year, and items we believe we might need “one day.” The closet gradually fills, even though much of it is rarely used.

Our digital spaces function in much the same way. We store files, photos, apps and subscriptions we no longer need, often simply because we have not taken the time to review and clear what is unnecessary.

Unused files, forgotten subscriptions, overflowing inboxes and duplicate photos accumulate silently across devices and cloud storage.

This is no longer a theoretical concern. In Europe’s largest digital hubs — including Dublin, Amsterdam and Frankfurt — the rapid growth of data centres has led to electricity shortages and grid congestion, limiting new connections and forcing cities to reconsider further expansion1.

Our digital habits are not only personal; they are connected to wider energy systems and infrastructure.

Change does not begin with complexity. It begins with awareness — and one conscious decision to act.

Join the livestream on 1 March and take that first step.
