Environment Variables, Green Software Foundation

Each episode we discuss the latest news regarding how to reduce the emissions of software and how the industry is dealing with its own environmental impact.

Our focus is reduction, not neutralization. One gram of carbon not emitted into our atmosphere is not the same as one gram of carbon that has been offset. By far, the more preferable goal is to never have emitted the carbon in the first place.
