#10YearsAgo @jc_ux (who runs @SustainableUX with @JBriselli) wrote #SustainableWebDesign for @AListApart:
• the web’s carbon footprint
• reducing CO₂ by tackling page bloat: budgeting for a lean, mean, green website; persuading people to optimise
• internet as climate hero

Posted a product review of Treecard. A little bit UX, a lot of tree math. https://t.co/3GLGxCJwzF

@wrightmartin Similarly annoyed! I've got a version where #4 is a bike share app and #5 is integrated light transport networks

[SustainableUX - @jcux.bsky.social @SustainableUX]

Curious how many of you are using the Treecard debit card. Anyone?

The internet weighs less than a strawberry. It takes a lot of electricity (5-8% of world total) to keep that strawberry online. https://t.co/ywcz3pY7kN

8 years ago I guesstimated my work CO2 footprint at around 20tons / year. Since then I've changed to a job with little-to-no flying, which should cut my footprint in half. https://t.co/jne48mZfgi

Paris is working to become a '15-minute city' where everything you need is located locally within 15 mins. Every street will have a bike lane, 60,000 parking spots are being removed & replaced with parks. They aren't done yet.

We have the solutions implement them.

[Assaad Razzouk @AssaadRazzouk]

France just legislated that every parking lot for 80 cars or more must be covered by solar panels

That’s 11GW of new solar (same as 10 new nuclear reactors) powering millions of home - zero new land needed

Climate action is happening, just not at #COP27

Nice blast of US energy optimism from @robinsonmeyer https://t.co/MUunrVt9zd (and a reminder that this means jobs: "[..] companies are going to need engineers, yes, but also programmers, accountants, marketers, HR staff, general counsels—there is space for everyone now.")
