Social Media & Mental Health – Helping Young People Take Back Control

It is our aim to live in a world where young people can have individual control over how social media affects their mental health.

Digital technologies and the popularity of social media platforms, means it’s here to stay. As a society, we haven’t developed an etiquette when it comes to the use of social media.

We need to teach young people how to manage this huge societal change, in a way which doesn’t have a negative effect upon their mental health.

The Environmental Impact of your Website – How to Reduce your Digital Carbon Footprint

Did you know; if the internet was a country, it would be the world’s 6th biggest polluter? It was this statistic that led us to explore the environmental impact of our website.

It’s not uncommon to think that by utilising ‘the cloud’, websites and digital assets, that we are benefiting the environment. However, this is often not the case.

This talk will open your eyes into the world of digital carbon emissions, with practical guidance on how (with very little effort) you can significantly reduce the carbon footprint of your website.
