The main objective of the "Green Netiquette" project was to promote environmentally conscious netiquette as a transversal skill and competence, aligning with the ESCO framework. We aimed to raise awareness among young people about the environmental impacts of their digital activities and encourage them to adopt more sustainable online habits. Specific goals included increasing understanding of digital carbon footprints, promoting energy-efficient device usage, advocating for responsible data management, and fostering critical thinking regarding online content consumption from an environmental perspective. Ultimately, we sought to empower youth to make informed, eco-friendly choices in their daily digital lives and become advocates for sustainable digital practices within their communities.
The project "Green Netiquette" applied to address the critical need for promoting environmentally conscious digital behaviour among young people. In an increasingly digital world, the environmental footprint of online activities often goes unnoticed. There was a clear gap in education and awareness regarding sustainable practices in online communication and digital resource consumption. This project sought to equip youth with the knowledge and skills to adopt responsible netiquette, encompassing energy efficiency in digital habits, conscious data usage, and understanding the environmental impact of their online presence. The ultimate goal was to foster a generation of digitally literate and environmentally aware citizens, bridging this educational and behavioural gap.
