Introducing the Green Netiquette Booklet: A Guide to Sustainable Digital Practices

We are delighted to present the Green Netiquette booklet, a comprehensive resource that promotes environmentally responsible digital behavior. Developed as part of the Green Netiquette (GNET) project under the Erasmus+ programme Key Action 2, this publication is a practical guide to minimizing our digital carbon footprint and fostering sustainability online.

The Green Netiquette booklet explores the hidden environmental costs of our digital activities, from excessive data storage to energy-intensive streaming. It provides actionable solutions for individuals and organizations, such as optimizing energy consumption, using eco-friendly search engines, reducing unnecessary data transfers, and extending the lifespan of electronic devices.

Beyond individual practices, the booklet encourages broader discussions on digital responsibility, particularly among youth and youth workers. Through debate and engagement, it raises awareness of how everyday online habits contribute to environmental impact and offers strategies to make digital interactions more sustainable. Readers will find key principles outlined in the publication, including practical tips on cloud storage management, efficient software use, and digital minimalism.

This booklet is more than just a collection of guidelines—it is a call to action for anyone seeking to align their digital habits with environmental sustainability. Whether you are an educator, policymaker, or digital user, the Green Netiquette booklet provides valuable insights into how we can collectively reduce our digital footprint and contribute to a greener online ecosystem.
