Digital Sustainability Matters
The digital world has a real environmental footprint. Data centers consume about 1-2% of global electricity, and this is growing rapidly. Every file stored and transmitted has an energy cost.
The Environmental Impact of Data
- Data centers emit as much CO2 as the airline industry
- Streaming HD video for an hour uses about 1 kWh
- Cloud storage requires continuous power for servers and cooling
- Data transmission uses energy at every network hop
How TomYaYa Helps
Reduce Storage
Less data stored means fewer servers running, less cooling required, and lower energy consumption:
- Deduplication eliminates redundant storage
- Compression reduces file sizes by 50-80%
- Combined savings can be 60-90%
Reduce Bandwidth
Smaller files mean less energy for transmission:
- Faster uploads and downloads
- Less network infrastructure needed
- Reduced load on CDNs and servers
Unlike Cryptocurrency...
While Bitcoin mining consumes more electricity than many countries, TomYaYa does the opposite:
- Bitcoin: Wastes energy to solve arbitrary puzzles
- TomYaYa: Saves energy by reducing data storage and transfer
Calculate Your Impact
Every GB of storage saved prevents approximately 0.2 kg of CO2 emissions per year. If TomYaYa saves you 100GB, that's equivalent to:
- 20 kg of CO2 per year
- Driving about 80 km in a car
- Charging a phone 2,400 times
