We can make websites better, one convention at a time. But is this really necessary? And does it have impact?

In this talk, Chris will share the lessons learned working on carbon.txt, a project led to establish a convention like robots.txt to discover sustainability data for any domain. Together we’ll cover the changes in the law that led to it being developed, the growing ecosystem of tools around it, and examples of real world use in open source projects, to solve concrete problems related to understanding the environmental impact of digital services.

Everybody seems to agree that digital sustainability is important. But in real life there always seem to be other things (clients/stakeholders or worse) even more important, and hence we end up not doing much. The question often is: "Does it really matter?" and maybe even more: "Can I really make a difference?"

In this talk Tom will share his experience and thoughts on how, even when we feel small in the face of global challenges and big tech corporations, we all can make a meaningful difference every day.

With smashing and actionable content, like you are used from us :).

Let's take a little time to discuss all that we have heard, together. Bring your questions, and let's get the discussion going!
