Did you know that using email can produce the same amount of carbon emissions as driving 128 miles in a car? Or that streaming one hour of television can produce the equivalent amount of carbon emissions as charging 12 smartphones? In her talk, Brianna Hogan demystifies “The Cloud,” explores the impact of cloud technology on our daily lives, and illuminates our collective responsibility in advancing cloud sustainability. TEDxMidlothianTpke talks were recorded and produced by Varina High School Center for Communications and Media Relations Students. Brianna Hogan is a Cloud Engineer and received her B.S. in physics and B.A. in French from the University of Virginia and her Ed.M. in Education Policy and Analysis from the Harvard Graduate School of Education. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at
