„If you've never heard of the Green Web Foundation, we're working towards a fossil free internet by 2030. And at the beginning of the 2020s, it felt much much easier than it is now. Now, I guess I really think that the web and the internet are like towering achievements of humanity. I feel like the web, the internet should be like a global public good. It should be something that we use for liberation, not oppression. I think like I don't know. I feel like we're here to build Star Trek, not build Mad Max. Do you know what I mean? Like that's kind of my vibe when I think about technology.“ - Chris Adams https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvijxnjLrIk

What if your UI dynamically scaled its media footprint based on real-time power grid intensity? Carbon-aware design patterns let us throttle heavy assets, streamline CSS, and minimize energy burn when regional emissions spike.
We look at the APIs, responsive green UX, and technical architecture in our 2026 guide at Silphium Design:

Green Wien Event-Tipp zu Rechenzentren & Suffizienz! 🪴
Permacomputing Meetup #5 (by Simon Repp) - 13.01.2026
„This time around, we are looking forward to Maël Madon presenting their "Reflections on sufficiency for data centers": "I am a researcher in Computer Science, with an interest in environmental impacts of computing. In this talk, I want to share with you some insights from my PhD work, in which we tried to go beyond efficiency measures for data centers, and rather think about "sufficiency". I will explain how we approached the problem, give some results and also personal thoughts on the question."“

🌿 Every click, scroll, and image load uses energy. Multiply that by millions of interactions, and the environmental impact of our digital world becomes impossible to ignore.
In this article, we explore how UX and design choices can reduce a website’s carbon footprint—making your digital presence faster, cleaner, and greener.

"#Nachhaltigkeit - passt das zu uns?"

Hadere persönlich noch ein bisschen mit dem #GreenWeb Movement. Es ist richtig und wichtig - aber ich habe das Gefühl, dass es nicht genug politisch sondern weiterhin technisch fokussiert ist. Und es somit eine nette Nische bleiben wird, in der man über Software-Optimierungen und Messungen fachsimpelt - während die großen Tech-Player mit Hardware-Produktion und Rechenzentren über das Schicksal der weiteren Erhitzung entscheiden und aktuell bspw. ihre (eigentlich guten) Klimaziele wegen KI und Money Money ignorieren/komplett über den Haufen schmeißen. Aber ich glaube diese Challenge hat aktuell jedes Green-Movement?! 🤷🏻♂️
(I know, dass aktuell auch #permacomputing am Entstehen ist - war mir bisher noch zu abstrakt. Aber was nicht ist, kann ja noch werden ...)

(Konstruktiver) Rant: Was ich an der deutschsprachigen #GreenWeb-Bubble im Netz aktuell oft vermisse, ist die Brücke zu anderen Klimabewegungen und der aktuellen Klimawissenschaft (= z.B. 1,5 Grad Ziel nicht mehr erreichbar).
Mir kommt es oft ziemlich unpolitisch vor, wenn ausschließlich über Dark Mode Stromeinsparungen (umstritten - kommt auf Gerät an), bloßen Frontend-Optimierungen (https://matthias-andrasch.eu/2023/fooled-by-the-website-carbon-calculator-roberta-haseleu/), Kamera-Nutzung (https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7312755282906927104/) & Co debattiert wird. 1/

Thinking about starting a #GreenCoding & #GreenWeb blog, because I haven't seen one which aggregates news yet (like https://wptavern.com/ e.g.). I see lots of stuff on LinkedIn every week.
But blogs are a bit left behind nowadays (Getting into YouTube Shorts would maybe generate more awareness for the topic). And it's time consuming + it's connected to the big lost fight for 1,5 / 2 degree celsisus: You have to beg Mega Corps like Google, Amazon & Co to take action = can be depressing. 🤷🤔

Given the earlier, I could stay on mastodon.social, but, for one, I'm afraid that the funding tiers for mastodon.social are slightly out of what I would prefer, and secondly, eu.mastodon.green and Albin Social servers run on renewable energy.

"Electricity Maps" is fascinating! You can visualise a map showing a selection of realtime and historical eletricity use and approximate associated carbon emmisions.
A real eye-opener. Europe and UK is doing quite well, very suprising that Australia apparently isn't making use of that abundant sunshine!
Add the "wind" and "solar" layers for a kickass screensaver..

#GreenCoding #GreenWeb Hey! Has anybody here already read "Building Green Software" by Anne Currie, Sarah Hsu, Sara Bergman by chance? Or has someone taken the (free) course "Green Software for Practitioners (LFC131)"?
I’d love to dive a bit deeper into green coding & green web after I started with #SustainableWebDesign by Tom Greenwood a few years ago + saw the talk „Fooled by the Website Carbon Calculator” by Roberta Haseleu + read inspiring blog posts by @fershad 1/

Currently at the crossroads of figuring out a new job pathway, ...
- I really liked working with craftcms, this would mean trying to get another - potential stressful - agency developer job.
- Also I would love to work towards a purpose (as developer), like „fighting the climate emergency“ - but these jobs are not advertised (yet?)
So „follow your passion!“ does not work as Rutger Bregman stated here as well:

Another month and Torbay Council manage to remain the smallest UK council homepage in terms of bytes 👍
Their homepage comes in at 320kB (uncompressed) and two-thirds of that is JS; a single cookies script is a third of their page total! So they still have plenty of room to improve even more.

I've contacted Stroud District Council to ask them to get their content management system to appropriately size images. For example, they currently squash a 4.6MB (6000x4000px) image into a 454x302px box on their homepage. Their homepage has grown from 1.6MB in May to 15.9MB in July.
