How streaming music could be harming the planet
Once vinyl or a CD is purchased, it can be played over and over again, the only carbon cost coming from running the record player. However, if we listen to our streamed music using a hi-fi sound system it's estimated to use 107 kilowatt hours of electricity a year, costing about £15.00 to run. A CD player uses 34.7 kilowatt hours a year and costs £5 to run.
Solution: Use a smartphone or laptop with headphones unless you are playing music for guests. Download the songs you play repeatedly.

Wrong. I was born in the '70s and live with my elderly parents because one of my parents has been physically disabled for the past twenty-odd years and needs help getting around the house and I'm the only family around as my sister and her family live several states away. Nice try though.
