The company behind this seems to be genuinely interested in a greener web: https://www.wholegraindigital.com/ https://www.wholegraindigital.com/ Unfortunately, I feel like lots of things can be understood in a variety of ways. Take this: > The products and services we provide will use the least amount of energy and material resources possible. What does that mean ? Should I use C to create websites, so that each web request takes less energy ? What about the energy I use to code : is that accounted for ? And this: > The products and services we provide will support an economy that nourishes people and planet. What kind of products and services does that exclude ?

> The products and services we provide will use the least amount of energy and material resources possible. The wording is unfortunate, but I understand this to mean that tools (e.g. programming languages) should be chosen with resource usage in mind. The last word, "possible", gives you an out to reasonably argue that C is not an option because of other concerns like security. But it sure means that something like Go or Rust should be preferred over something like Ruby or PHP because it allows you to run most applications on a much smaller footprint.
