At the start of this year, we thought:
🌱 Why isn't an easy-to-understand digital sustainability website (beyond just counting carbon)?
And then this happened:

Carbon Footprint of Websites is often not a topic - but it matters, especially for high traffic sites. sustainablewebdesign.org/guidelines/ #sustainbility #digitalpermaculture #optimization #lowcarbon #websitecarbon
Fact: Average web page view emits 1.76g CO2. Optimize your site to shrink this footprint.
Optimizing them to A+ level will reduce their emissions 25-30 times (approx. 0,07g)

The image shows a carbon rating result for a web page, receiving an "F" grade. The page is labeled as "dirtier than 90% of all web pages globally," indicating that it has a high environmental impact in terms of carbon emissions compared to other sites. The rating scale goes from A+ (the most efficient) to F (the least efficient), with the global average around a grade of "E." This suggests that the web page has a high energy consumption, likely due to factors such as inefficient design, large file sizes, or hosting choices. Optimizing the page could help lower its carbon footprint. Alt Text by ChatGPT
