The Royal Society is advising people to stream video in standard definition on their smartphone rather than 4K to help reduce carbon emissions.
In a new report, the Society estimates that streaming one hour on a smartphone generates roughly eight times more emissions in 4K or UHD (Ultra High Definition) compared with SD (Standard Definition).
Content lovers are unlikely to notice the difference in definition on a screen as small as a smartphone, according to the report.
Streaming services have a negative effect on the environment, due to the power required to transfer data, a large proportion of which is generated by non-renewable energy sources like gas and coal.
The Royal Society also advises the public to keep using the same smartphone for four years and not get drawn into the tech industry’s furious annual release cycles.
Tech fans can also help cut carbon emissions by buying gadgets second-hand and

Last weekend marked a virtual Super Saturday: there was a record 24 hours for internet usage in the UK.
From 10.35am on Saturday 21 November to the same time the next day, TalkTalk customers used 41.2million gigabytes of data, driven largely by streaming, which has now spread across most multimedia platforms.
Not so long ago we would largely watch terrestrial television, buy physical copies of films we wanted to see or go to the cinema, and snap-up CDs or vinyl for our music fix. It’s worked wonders for decluttering homes.
But the other huge factor behind this surge in internet usage, according to TalkTalk – one of Britain’s biggest telecoms providers – has been the launch of four new
Last weekend marked a virtual Super Saturday. There was a record 24 hours for internet usage.

Black Friday 2020 deals are everywhere you look, even in the most unexpected places. Streaming services — not typically the first thing that comes to mind on sale days — have lowered the prices of its plans this weekend, including Philo and its cable streaming platform.

What comes to mind when the topic of “online video consumption” gets brought up? Do you immediately think of streaming platforms such as YouTube and Vimeo? Do you think of the ever-popular social networks, such as Tik Tok, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, etc? Perhaps you think of those Netflix/Hulu/HBO Now marathons? Then again, it’s not all fun like watching live gameplay on Twitch — many of us only have time for serious usage of online video. In these post-pandemic days, you might only have the bandwidth for online classes, online conferences/events, and maybe a dash of online fitness.
I’m sure you’re catching my drift. It’s pointless to say we need to tone it down because online video consumption has become a part of life. But video services providers must step up and consider sustainable ways to deliver while meeting the demands of their consumers.
Kaley Cuoco stars in The Flight AttendantPhoto: HBO Max
The typical holiday travel crunch probably isn’t happening this year (at least, we hope that everyone who can stay home, will stay home, because have you seen the latest COVID case stats?). But HBO Max’s The Flight Attendant is still boarding early—the series premiere is streaming for free right now, a week before its official debut. You can also check it out on YouTube:
Based on Chris Bohjalian’s 2018 book of the same name, The Flight Attendant stars Kaley Cuoco as Cassie Bowden, a jet-setting airline worker who becomes ensnared in a murder mystery—and comes to some stark realizations about her lifestyle—after a trip to Bangkok. As Cassie’s co-worker Megan, Rosie Perez finds herself in the on-screen company of millennials once more, but her character seems much more in control of her life than poor Lorraine
Five weeks after joining NBCUniversal, Susan Rovner has put her stamp on the company’s TV and streaming division by setting her programming leadership team.
The main takeaways from the reshuffle, which Rovner shared via an internal memo, are Lisa Katz becoming President of Scripted Content and Rovner splitting the unscripted portfolio between reality shows and competition formats/game shows.
Interestingly, five of the six execs named to the leadership are women.
The latest reshuffle, which follows the restructure by Television and Streaming Chairman Mark Lazarus, has led to the departure of Bill McGoldrick, President of Original Content at NBCUniversal Entertainment Networks and Direct-to-Consumer.
McGoldrick, who most recently oversaw original content for Peacock and scripted series across its cable group, is the latest top exec to exit NBCU. On Monday, it was revealed that NBC’s Co-President of Scripted Programming Tracey Pakosta was moving to Netflix
