One of the factors for modern public administration is the online database. Not only does it yield ease of information access, all the virtual libraries offer the impression that we no longer need resources to distribute and publish offline documents. However, since data centres chronically consume energy to keep the system running at all times, they inevitably contribute to carbon emission which is a cascading effect of online databases. To tackle climate catastrophe with more efficiency, we have to take into account the carbon footprints of the virtual factory of data.
