Keep the climate impact of code low!
The code, infrastructure and devices supporting the internet emits around the same amount of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) as the global airline industry.
As authors of code, we can affect how applications affect climate change by making sure we avoid anti-patterns that unecessarily consume resources.
The goal of this project is to follow the development of the W3C's Sustainability Guidelines.
