    Hi Caroline. I'm Tom from Wholegrain Digital. Yes, when you add up all devices usage and the infrastructure behind it, the total energy for the internet is estimated to be approximately 2000TWh per year, and similar to Germany (the world's 7th largest greenhouse gas polluter) in terms of emissions.

      Thanks but can you give me more of a layman example? Sorry, I'm being a pain but I'm trying to reach out about the problems we have in this climate crisis. We need to explain in a simple way - to "idiots" like me😉
