2025 Digital Cleanup Day

In today’s digital world, we store and consume vast amounts of data across our smartphones, laptops, tablets, and cloud accounts—all of which have a hidden environmental cost. Every unused file, app, and email stored on a server consumes energy, contributing to carbon emissions. Digital Cleanup Day is your chance to take action, reduce digital waste, and make a meaningful impact on sustainability.

Join the movement. Declutter today. Make a difference!

Why It Matters

Did you know that the IT industry accounts for nearly 4% of global CO₂ emissions—more than the aviation sector? The devices we use daily, like phones, laptops, and tablets, require energy not only when in use but also when storing data in the cloud or running background apps. Unused files, duplicate photos, and outdated emails may seem insignificant, but they take up space on data servers that require massive amounts of electricity to operate.

How to Get Involved

Participating in Digital Cleanup Day is easy and impactful:

•  Delete unnecessary files, emails, and apps – Free up storage and reduce data center loads.
•  Unsubscribe from old newsletters – Cut down on email processing energy.
•  Clear your smartphone and laptop of duplicate photos and downloads – Optimize your device’s performance.
•  Organize cloud storage and backup only what’s necessary – Reduce unnecessary server use.
•  Recycle or donate old devices – Give a second life to unused phones, laptops, and tablets, reducing e-waste.
•  Key Visual  Photoframe file is to be updated.
