Turn Off Your Camera To Reduce Your Videoconferencing Carbon Footprint By Up To 96%

Turning off your camera reduces the carbon footprint of a videoconferencing session by up to 96%, according to a study by Perdue University. Just one hour of videoconferencing or video streaming emits 150 grams to 1kg of CO2. It also requires 2-12 litres of water and demands a land area adding up to about the size of an iPad Mini. This carbon footprint adds up to an enormous global footprint. For instance, Zoom hosts 55 billion hours every year.
