subtitle: Volunteer run project to research the awareness of IT's carbon footprint
description: This is a project to understand whether businesses in climate are aware that IT also has a a carbon footprint. We are auditing 500 homepages of organisations with climate change in their business model, with the belief that if those who already strive towards a greener future are not aware that their IT has a carbon footprint, how can we hope that those who do not care about climate change, understand their IT has a carbon footprint.

title: Designing Energy Efficient Websites
description: Designing energy efficient websites is an approach to designing digital products and services that are conscious of lowering carbon emissions by becoming more efficient. The choices we make in designing digital products, from UX design and development to the servers we use, can have a carbon cost and can contribute to global Greenhouse gases. In this session we would like to demonstrate our approach to designing and developing energy efficient websites and how we measure and calculate the carbon footprint of our clients websites.
