UCC's First Digital Cleanup Day
On April 9th there will be an awareness campaign with information sessions and practical workshops throughout the day, enabling individuals to learn about how to reach "Inbox Zero" (that satisfying state of having no unread emails!) and a guide to undertaking a Digital Declutter. On the day we will also be encouraging every school and function to pledge a day between April and June to dedicate to their collective digital decluttering effort. By doing so, we aim to reduce unnecessary digital storage and its associated environmental impact.
