A laptop generates about 27 grams of CO2 per hour. So going from 4 hours to 2.5 minutes would save about 0.1 kg of CO2 each time the app is ran. So for a company of 1,000 people working 48 weeks per year that's almost 5 tons of CO2 that could be saved.
Ah well, 5 tons of CO2 is a fair trade off for being able to use Python, right?
- polygamous_bat 4y agoI understand where you're coming from, and I do care about the climate as much as the next person, but this comparison seems downright silly. Basically, for your example to work every single person have to run the same script every week and wait for 4 hours. Are there even that many bank statements? And then, if you, your spouse, and a child take a single flight coast to coast, round trip, that is 4.5 tons right there.
