Sustainability in the digital world

[bacharakis]

Session description

When we speak about sustainability and climate change, we think about long-haul flights and solar panels. We do not realize that our day-to-day digital behavior, like mindless scrolling, dark vs bright backgrounds, and the online advertisements we see, also contributes to our carbon footprint. This open discussion is about how we, the people on the web, can build products and technologies that are sustainable and positively impact the user behavior in a way that contributes to a greener environment.

Session goal

Understand how we can build technologies and products that contribute to our fight against carbon emissions
