  • There's no reason for the spoken-word audio track in this 45 minute video to be 44kHz stereo. Internet bandwidth has a carbon footprint, too. That track could function just as well at 22kHz mono. It would be less than a quarter of the data, and hence a quarter of the energy used to create it, edit it, store it, transmit it and view it.

    It's a bit surprising that the Smithsonian (of all places) doesn't practice data conservation techniques in their educational multimedia.
