Is there an environmental impact from social media?
Hi everyone! This episode is definitely more academically based. I'm reading an analysis essay I wrote while studying the environmental impacts of technology on the Earth. If you enjoy listening to types of episodes like this (more academic/informational), let me know because I enjoy making them! If you want more information about this topic, I left all the references I used while writing this paper below!
Talk to you next week :)
