Yes, websites have a carbon footprint!

Estimates show that each web hosting server produces nearly 1,400 pounds of CO2 each year. By 2020, the web hosting industry is slated to surpass the airline industry in environmental pollution.

Dark Mode I've been working with web development since its inception, and I want to make a small contribution towards improving it. My personal and ethical choice is to switch to dark mode to conserve device energy. "It gave a surprising battery life figure. Changing from light to dark mode reduces the phone's power consumption by 42% at 100% screen brightness. When the brightness level is 50%, switching from light mode to dark mode saves 9 % of the battery, and when the brightness level is 30%, the saving is only 3 %." Compress Another best practice is to reduce website file size by compressing code and optimizing image and video sizes. My homepage is 96% cleaner than all the pages tested on websitecarbon.com. The project pages have a lower percentage, with a range of 70/86 cleaner.

Green Hosting To compensate for this result, I have opted for Green Hosting (Netsons partner of the Green Foundation) and have calculated one planted tree compensation based on hypothetical views.

Thank you!
