Earlier, EcoPolitic wrote, that the duplicate photos, unnecessary e-mails and other data forgotten in the cloud storage cause CO2 emissions are similar to air transport.
As EcoPolitic previously reported, in Kyiv, Yapomogabox, which feeds homeless animals in exchange for plastic bottles, will now send 10 kopecks from each collected bottle to help the Armed Forces and the same amount for the United24 program.
