Planet sends an SOS – Taking Responsibility for our Carbon Footprint
summary
Cloud software often runs more efficiently than self‑hosting yet hides supply‑side emissions; Google commits to 24/7 carbon‑free by 2030 but refuses full transparency, while forecasts put IT at about 21% of global energy by 2030 and clutter the planet with 53.6 million tons e‑waste in 2019 (up 21%). Real actions reported: Chef drops an ICE contract after contributor removals, refugees build a FoodSaver app via Hack Your Future, teams add energy use to the Definition of Done and treat the planet as a stakeholder.
