Letâs first highlight some ânot so fun factsâ about the topic covered in this episode, according to Anne Coghlan, COO of Scope3 in Digiday.
-
Programmatic advertising creates 100,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide every month in the United States, which is equivalent to burning about 11.2 million gallons of gas.
-
Serving 1,000 digital ad impressions uses the same amount of energy as doing a load of laundry in a washing machine â excluding the dryer â which produces a global average of 514.8 grams of CO2.
