What about the problem of CO2 / MB ?
- yellowapple 6y agoI feel like it'd be more productive to reduce the CO2 per MB (e.g. using a 100% renewable-energy-powered hosting provider, pressuring ISPs to use renewables, pressuring power companies to use renewables, etc.) than to reduce the MB in this case.
- zer0tonin 6y agoWhy not both?
- abraae 6y agoI dunno. That time the user spends waiting for the sluggish website downloading gigabytes of html is time they maybe don't spend reaching for that apple that was air freighted across the world to reach their fridge. Flippant but I doubt there's any clear correlation between reducing the size of a web page and reducing overall CO2 emissions.
