Carbon.txt - The “View Source” for Digital Sustainability
June 24 – 8:10 AM
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.
