Regrowing a greener web
Description
The digital world is intertwined with our daily lives and will continue to do so in the future, but it has a hidden cost to the ozon layer that many aren’t aware of. This master thesis is a proposal to how we might shine a light on the subject and investigates how some of our existing services might change if designed with digital emissions in mind. Reading this paper will make you discover sustainability trends happening in the IT industry and give you a good idea about where our future as digital designers should go.
Calculating the carbon emissions of digital content is a fairly new concept and new discoveries are made every day. The ideas and prototypes in this paper have been made with the current best practice(fall, 2023) of designing for fewer emissions.
