For the last months, I’ve been hosting workshops and discussions with folks about what an eco-friendly browser could look like and collecting other bold ideas for a sustainable internet.
We’re in a climate crisis. The internet contributes 2% of the world’s global carbon emissions. And it’s only growing.
How can we reduce emissions and advocate for a more sustainable internet? What else could the open internet do for the planet? We invite technologists, designers, climate activists and citizens who care about the internet and the planet to dream and develop these idea and even more ambitious ones together.
@mrchrisadams and @pbihr have been instrumental in this thinking, and also a thanks to @johncoate for his encouragement and support in getting the conversation out.
I welcome folks to check this growing wiki page with some of the top ideas: Projects/Sustainability - MozillaWiki
