Eco-Digital Literacy and Citizenship for Our Planet and Future (Digital Waste )
▶Summary
The increasing climate crisis and the volume of carbon emissions are the priority issues of the European Union. Imposing a carbon tax on corporations in 2030 is among the policies of the European Union. The main aim of all these policies is to provide a sustainable Green Europe/World environment. Digital waste also causes carbon emissions, electricity consumption, water consumption and therefore the climate crisis. Unnecessary internet use and waste of digital data are among the factors that harm the future of the world. We applied for the digital waste awareness project to raise awareness of these issues. Within the scope of the project, we produced awareness videos and studied needs analyses in 4 different countries. We conducted scientific research on digital waste. We produced mobile applications and Windows programs that show the relationship between digital waste and carbon emissions. We carried out promotional activities in universities and high schools. We raised awareness about digital waste. Our outputs (Turkish, English, Arabic, Romanian, Portuguese and French): Digital Waste (DW) Mobil applications (android & IOS) Digital Waste (DW) Windows program Digital Waste (DW) documentaries Digital Waste (DW) books
▶Objectives
By implementing the project, we provided information and raised awareness about digital waste in 5 countries. To ensure project sustainability, we produced mobile applications and Windows programs in 6 languages. We produced a documentary. We produced books. We shared all our outputs free of charge on Salto, Eplus, the project web page and our social media pages.

▶Activities
We organized project management meetings and training activities within the scope of the project. We carried out multiplier activities to disseminate the project outputs. We gave participants information about Erasmus+ programs. We carried out field studies in 4 countries within the scope of the project. We analyzed the data we collected from the field. We collected these studies in 5 books. We produced mobile applications, Windows software and web portal with our employees. We shared these outputs free of charge on our social media and web pages. We produced 22 documentaries in 5 languages about the link between digital waste and the climate crisis. We shared these documentaries on our website and social media accounts. We held digital waste information seminars. We distributed brochures.
