Did you know the internet contributes to climate change?
Internet use has a very significant environmental impact: it is responsible of 4% of global CO₂ emissions. Web servers, data centers and connected devices require enormous amounts of energy, causing increasing demand for electricity and increasing greenhouse gas emissions.
In fact, it is possible to accurately estimate how much CO₂ is emitted with each visit to a web page. The result can vary greatly, and can be surprisingly low if a website has been designed and developed with sustainability in mind.
Sustainable web design and development
Sustainable web development is an approach to website creation that involves using efficient techniques, renewable energy sources and a design designed to minimise environmental impact.
Green energy
A website hosted nearby, in a data centre with 100% renewable energy.
Innovative design
A modern design with colours, typography, and pictures selected for low energy consumption.
Efficient code
Using compression, minification, and caching, a website visit can require less storage use and data transfer.
Advantages beyond the climate
A sustainable website doesn't only reduce the harmful environmental impact of your online presence: it also increases the end-user's experience, e.g. by decreasing loading speeds. In short: everyone wins!
