From video calls to streaming and from websites to cloud storage, our digital tools seem invisible - but they carry a heavy environmental footprint. The energy and water required to power the infrastructure behind our digital practices contributes to climate breakdown, with direct impacts on already-vulnerable regions and Indigenous lands, where extraction and data centres are often located.

In this workshop, we’ll explore how to align our digital practices with our environmental and social values. Participants will leave with the knowledge needed to make informed decisions and adopt less impactful digital practices, from email habits to hosting choices, grounded in ecological awareness and aligned with your values.

Led by Gwendolenn Sharp, founder and director of The Green Room, the session builds on her work leading ‘STOMP’ – Sustainable Tools for Online Music Practices - a pioneering EU-funded project offering alternatives to the extractive logic of mainstream digital tools. Since 2016, The Green Room has been working at the intersection of ecology and culture, supporting artists and organisations in designing sustainable futures.
