First the bad news. Our team of media scholars and engineers has confirmed that streaming video is responsible for over 1% of global greenhouses gases and rising fast, as part of the 4% and rising footprint of ICT (information and communication technologies) overall. You can find our full report, evidence brief, and best practices recommendations at https://sfu.ca/sca/projects---activities/streaming-carbon-footprint

The good news is that the Small File Media Festival is just around the corner, scintillating with 100 astonishingly inventive movies of under 5 megabytes each, lovingly curated by our team.
