- 🔰Carbon-Aware Website Assessment | No-codeで環境負荷チェック体験 #36アースベーカリー&カフェ Earth Bakery & Cafe Yokohama, 横浜市
How can we reduce digital CO₂ emissions, even if we’re not developers?
As AI and data use continue to grow, electricity demand from data centres is expected to more than double by 2030 (*1). Websites and online businesses are expected to become greener, but what makes many current ones problematic?
In this event, we’ll try some simple steps to assess and critique the environmental impact of websites. No technical skills are needed. The organiser is a writer and web content editor, so we would really love support from tech-savvy participants too!
Join us. Let's think and share opinions. Knowledge-to-Action! 🧑💻👩🏻💻🧑🎨
What will we do
- Use an easy checklist to assess a few websites
- Discuss what causes high environmental impact
- Share ideas on how websites can be improved
Note
- This is a simple, high-level assessment from different angles. It's an experiment, not a technical audit, as "sustainable web design" is still an evolving idea. However, you can expect to gain ideas on how to spot areas for improvement!
- We’re not doing deep technical reviews like testers and ESG investors do😀
Assessment points examples *detailes TBD
- Calculate CO₂ emission
- Business funding
- Dark patterns
- Page design (video autoplay, size, load speed, etc)
- Website content
You are

- 🔰 Digital Cleanup – Learn how to cut CO2 with just one finger!Very Veggy -SALAD WORKS-, Fujisawa
Did you know you can reduce 40 kg of CO₂ emissions just by deleting 10,000 emails?💨 Actually, data centres and networks that store them cause about 1% of the world’s energy-related CO₂ emissions!⚡️🏭💨
Like me, I bet many of you keep countless junk Emails(I have 53,378 today), tons of blurry photos, and bad quality videos for years🫨 Needless to say, excessive data usage is causing extreme summers🔥
In this session, we’ll take time to understand what "Digital waste" is, and learn how to reduce our own carbon footprint by only one finger👆
◯ What we do
While mingling with other members, we do:- Learn why storeing crappy data matters
- List and visualise where our unnecery data is
- Declutter unnecessary digital data includes: Junk Emails, videos, photos, unused accounts, old drafts, etc.
- Roughly calculate how much CO2 emissions we cut together
