Paragraph 2
The NDG has urged Britons to take
to cut back on their water
. One such measure is to trash unwanted emails and large
. The group claims this will lessen the demand for water. A government
suggested deleting old emails and pictures "as data centres require
amounts of water to cool their systems". NDG chairperson Helen Wakeham said a
everyday action such as tidying up one's inbox and spam and trash
will "really help the collective effort to reduce demand and help preserve the
of our rivers and wildlife". However, it is
that the water saved from people deleting files stored in the cloud is merely a
in the ocean.
