More than 174 individuals in Bahrain benefited from a digital decluttering initiative, highlighting the negative impact of unwanted data on the environment and our gadgets.
The campaign marked World Environment Day, which is annually celebrated on June 5, and was part of a wider event staged by the Middle East Dawoodi Bohra community.
The 10-day programme, leading up to the global observance, engaged more than 560 participants across seven cities in four countries and resulted in 15,685 gigabytes of data being deleted from personal and work devices. The freed storage is estimated to prevent approximately 3.13 tonnes of CO₂ emissions every year.
