Storing and processing music in the cloud depends on vast data centers that use a tremendous amount of resources and energy.Devine translated plastic productions and the electricity use to store and transmit digital audio files into greenhouse gas equivalents (GHGs). He then compared the GHGs from recorded music in the US in 1977, 1988, 2000 and 2016.The findings are clear. The GHGs caused by recorded music are much higher today than in the past. In 1977 the GHGs from, recorded music were 140 million kg. By 2016, they were estimated to somewhere between 200 million kg and over 350 million kg."I am a bit surprised. The hidden environmental cost of music consumption is enormous," Devine says.He emphasizes that the point of the research project is not to ruin one of life's greatest pleasures, but to encourage consumers to become more curious about the choices they make as they consume culture.Are we remunerating the artists who make our favourite music in a way that accurately reflects our appreciation? Are streaming platforms the right business model to facilitate that exchange? Is streaming music remotely from the cloud the most appropriate way to listen to music from the perspective of environmental sustainability?These are the questions the researchers want to see in a broader public conversation."There are no easy solutions, but taking a moment to reflect on the costs of music and how they have changed over time, is a step in the right direction," Devine says. |

Hello Dat
The topic of this report is something that people can't imagine easily. Usually when people listen to music online, they don't think about the impact of their actions to the environment. It is not easy to relate them. However, your report contains important information that people who stream the music should be aware of.
Thank you for the informative report!

Hey Dat!
It's your mentor Lisa.
Never have I thought that listening to music affects the environment!
I had no idea every day I listen to loads of music and I cannot live without it!
Yet, I had no clue that music consumption can actually emit greenhouse gases in the air.
Last time, someone wrote an article about how the film industry is causing some troubles in the environment and this time its music industry!
Very surprising and indeed the major entertainment contents that we enjoy for granted are costly and we have to start acknowledging the fact!
Very insightful article!
