Drop In & Power Down - Want to reduce your digital carbon footprint but not sure where to start?
Pop into our Drop-In Digital Sustainability Workshop for relaxed, practical tips you can use straight away, all whilst enjoying a cuppa and a slice of cake!
Did you know our everyday digital habits, from streaming and scrolling to storing emails, all have a carbon footprint? We’re hosting this relaxed drop-in session to help our community discover simple ways to use technology more sustainably and make small changes that add up to a big difference for the planet.
⚡ In just one session, you’ll learn:
• Simple device tweaks that save energy
• Smarter streaming habits
• How to clean up your inbox (and the planet)
• Eco-friendly search swaps
• Easy changes that lower your digital impact
You don’t need to go offline forever.
Just go a little lighter.
If millions of people made even 3–4 of these changes, the collective impact would be massive. Bring your phone, your laptop, or just yourself!
Build Your Own Network: Community Networking Skills
A hands-on look at the basics of networking. Using paper prototypes, we will visualise small local networks, learn about routers, switches and Wi-Fi security, and explore how community-owned networks can reduce environmental impact while improving digital access.
Together, we explored where our everyday online activities actually travel, uncover the hidden material and energy costs of digital services, and discuss who benefits and who bears the impact of this infrastructure.
Making the Invisible Visible: How the Internet Really Works
We use the internet every day, but where is it, really?
This friendly, hands-on workshop reveals the hidden physical world behind our digital lives: the cables under oceans, the data centres on land, the energy that powers our clicks, and the communities and environments affected along the way.
Through interactive mapping, group discussions, and real-world case studies, we traced everyday digital actions, sending a message, streaming a video, using the cloud, and follow them across the globe. Along the way, we explored the internet’s environmental footprint, its carbon and energy costs, and the often invisible inequalities built into digital infrastructure.
