We’re in a climate crisis—and the web isn’t off the hook. From energy-hungry AI to bloated, resource-intensive websites, our industry’s digital footprint is growing fast.

This talk explores how we can flip the script using open source tools to measure and reduce the carbon impact of our work. We’ll dive into practical ways to assess emissions, spotlight FOSS projects leading the way, and share actionable steps every open source project can take to help cut down energy use.

Together, we can build toward a solarpunk future—one where technology empowers a healthier planet and better lives for everyone.
