The entire internet industry and tools saves a lot of money and energy itself. Some of what people used to travel by car or airplane to do, now is done over far more energy and time efficient internet connections. Large amounts of paper has been replaced by far more environmentally friendly digital versions. The dream hasn't gone %100 yet, but it has replaced a big chunk already. Year by year it replaces more and more paper and in person travelling. You may think it isn't the case, but I have a story of a friend doing a psychology internship. The small office she works for has her schlep paper testing kits, patient charts and so on back and forth in between offices. And since they are shared they have often have to deliver them back and forth more than multiple copies would let them prevent. The main reason why its still paper is because her boss is in her 60s. But my friend has started to convince her boss to start digitizing. Now with hippa compliant google drive and pdf files replacing testing manuals and patient charts, they will save a ton of gas energy and time alone. It will be huge for them. And that is one simple example.
