THE FUTURE OF LOW-CARBON DIGITAL DESIGN

The internet is one of the largest sources of carbon emissions on Earth, and most of that impact is invisible. A high-carbon website is a credibility gap for any founder or company with an environmental mission. This paper explores where a carbon footprint comes from, the exact metrics to measure it, and an open-source, replicable model for fixing it — including a documented 67% emissions reduction of our own website.
