The environmental impact of the web we build
March 26, 2025
One of the things that’s difficult for me to resolve in my head is the the conflict between three things…
- I absolutely love the web.
- I care deeply about climate change.
- The web has been a massive driver of climate change.
Today, I wanted to talk briefly about we, as people who build things for the web, can do to reduce our environmental impact.

It’s only relatively recently we’ve begin thinking in earnest abut the environmental impact of websites. Back in 2019, Asim Hussain gave a talk ‘Save the World one line at a time‘ at our Code Leaders conference, the first time I had ever really heard this spoken about.
Here Chris Ferdinandi talks about the broader issue and what we can do about it.
