Dear Internet. We need to talk.
Oh, dear Internet, bringer of cat videos, facilitator of collaboration, source of almost infinite knowledge. You bring us many gifts.
You enable us to learn and grow. You enable us to be in contact with people all over the world and exchange information. Because of you, we all have more entertainment opportunities than we could ever wish for. How could we not love you?
But, dear internet, you are strangely addictive. There’s still a video to watch. Another podcast to listen to. Another swipe. It’s hard to put you aside.
You have an unhealthy appetite for electricity. You are a driver of climate change. If you were a country, you’d be the fourth biggest polluter in the world. It seems that you bring both joy and problems. Dear internet… are we really friends?
Don’t worry, it’s not your fault. You are what we have made you. To change you, we must first change our mindset. We need to embrace sustainability and regeneration so that we can create a web that is good for people and the planet.
We must take responsibility for our actions.
We will improve you.
We will create a greener Internet.
For you, for us, for the planet.
Because who should do it if not us?
