The depressing thing is that, in this pandemic, we're longing for things to be as they used to before, rather than take the chance to change it into something good. But we're subsidizing air travel and mass tourism, and push for governments to act as stake holders in those industries big time, while there's no chance for returning a profit for years to come; let alone the fact that overtourism contributed to the pandemic's spill. When just last year, the generation that'll have to pay the bills for our spending, negative interest, and rampant state financing, voiced their protest in Fridays for Future.
But yes, we absolutely should look at our power and data budgets, especially with "modern" mobile web (= ads and JavaScript for the sake of it) use.
