Check out Jack’s blog post on the topic as well as the GitHub repo for Susty.
Jack will be live-streaming his session and will introduce all of you on the topic – How better performing websites can help save the planet.
The web has a dirty secret — its carbon footprint is larger than that of global air travel. The immense energy consumed by the Internet from non-renewable sources makes it the largest coal-fired machine on earth. Mozilla’s 2018 Internet Health Report highlighted this growing problem and stated that sustainability should be a bigger priority for the industry. Jack will provide practical steps to reduce the environmental impact of our work and promote a better future.
