METRO GAVS - Greenwich Action for Voluntary Service

We’re sharing more than ever — photos, opinions, moments — all flowing through the invisible networks of global data. But what are we really giving away? And who’s benefiting? Every time we send an email, upload a photo, or store an app, we’re contributing to a growing, invisible problem: dark data. A staggering 52% of all data stored is never accessed.Every time we send an email, upload a photo, or store an app, we’re contributing to this growing, invisible problem. Data centres, where this unused information lives, are responsible for up to 4% of global carbon emissions, a number that’s only expected to rise. Join us for a free, hands-on workshop with a short film and interactive activities exploring the hidden side of our digital lives. Open to individuals, families, students, and community groups — no tech knowledge needed, just curiosity. Come curious, Leave connected
