Digital waste is invisible, but its impact is real. Every unused file, forgotten email and duplicate photo stored in the cloud contributes to the global carbon footprint of digital technology — approximately 4% of worldwide greenhouse gas emissions.
On 21 March 2026, people and organisations around the world will take action to reduce this footprint through Digital Cleanup Day, led by Let’s Do It World.
Whether you’re an individual cleaning out your personal devices, a team tackling shared drives at work, or an entire institution rethinking data management practices, your contribution matters:
Digital Cleanup Day isn’t just about one-time deletion — it’s about rethinking how we create, store and manage digital content in our daily routines. The habits established now reduce ongoing environmental impact and often improve efficiency and security.
You don’t need to wait until 21 March! Start reviewing your digital spaces today and use the event as a milestone to celebrate progress and inspire others.
Approach Digital Cleanup Day with energy and intention. Gather colleagues, share progress and recognise achievements. Transform what could feel like a chore into a meaningful collective action that shows how everyday choices can address environmental challenges.
The preparation starts now. The celebration happens on 21 March. The impact continues every day after.
