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.
