The Carbon Footprint of the Web

The internet accounts for approximately 3.7% of global carbon emissions. As developers, we have a responsibility to build more sustainable digital products.

Choose hosting providers that run on renewable energy. Many major cloud providers now offer carbon-neutral or carbon-negative options.

Performance is Sustainability

Faster websites use less energy. Optimizing your code, images, and assets is not just good for users but also good for the planet.

Measuring Impact

Tools like Website Carbon Calculator can help you understand and reduce your digital carbon footprint.
