An interesting tool from the article is ecograder.com which grades a website’s carbon emissions and provides recommendations to improve. There is also the Green Web Foundation’s directory of hosting providers powered by renewable energy.
This is the report for slrpnk.
I consider myself climate-conscious, but I’m also a JavaScript developer and have recently got access to Copilot. Thanks for confirming my hunch that all that isn’t great for the climate.
Wait why is Green hosting at 0? I thought solarpnk was running on solar power?
Also I tried to get a report on kbin.social but got an error.
I assume it can only reference known hosting services and their claimed green energy generation. For self-hosted servers like slrpnk.net, it wouldn’t know where the energy is coming from and can’t rate it.
That makes sense.
This is certainly it.
Interesting I would love to see a green push into the fediverse.
