Our mental wellness requires rest, but how we rest matters. Mindless scrolling on devices powered by fossil-fuel grids consumes surprising amounts of energy through massive data centers.

• The Eco-Mindful Alternative: Instead of unwinding by streaming hours of high-definition video, practice a low-impact digital detox. Read a physical book borrowed from a local library, practice meditation by candlelight, or engage in a analog hobby like painting or journaling.

• Unplug "Vampire" Electronics: Unplug chargers and appliances when they aren't in use. Even when turned off, electronics left plugged in draw a small amount of steady energy (known as phantom load). Cutting this off protects your peace of mind, lowers your electric bill, and reduces overall energy demand.
