Each of us can reduce our energy consumption by changing a few digital habits! Here are some simple, basic, and useful ways to save electricity and other vital resources like raw materials, land, and water. We are all responsible for our future planet, so let's embrace them.
Basic ecological gestures
- Switch your mobile phone to use Wi-Fi at home or in the office. A Wi-Fi connection consumes 10 times less energy than a 4G connection and places less strain on the network.
- Turn off electronic devices, such as smartphones, computers, routers, television screens and game consoles, when you are not using them , for example at night. Even when the computer is in sleep mode, it still generates up to three-quarters of its total energy consumption.

Useful ecological gestures
- Instead of streaming videos on your tablet or computer download them before watching .
- Disable video autoplay in the application settings.
- Reduce the quality of videos when following on social networks.
- Delete unwanted emails and photos or large attachments.
- Remember to unplug your tablet, phone, and computer when they are fully charged, otherwise they will continue to consume electricity.
Keeping your devices on longer is also more environmentally friendly
Show your devices some loyalty
The biggest environmental impact of phones and smartphones is their manufacturing process. Therefore, you should keep them for as long as possible and have them repaired rather than replaced if possible.
Recycle, don't renew
Giving your device a second life by bringing it back to a store to be refurbished or recycled helps protect our planet's vital resources. (Orange (fr)
