Community Meetup: Moving to a sustainable web

​How to improve your website’s carbon footprint and why you should

​We will explore a few key questions on this topic with space for questions from the community:

• ​what does the term sustainable web mean?

• ​why should we care about this?

• ​How do we measure carbon emissions?

• ​How are councils faring?

• ​What can you do to improve CO2 emissions in your website? Without a developer.

• ​What tools and Drupal modules can help with this?
