Fad or relevant?
The Carbon footprint of a website is hard to determine and given the examples posted in this thread, I would not trust their conclusions.

Huh? 
How tf can my website produce less than 0g pf emissions?
Ecosia plants trees for every search request. So technically it removes co2 every time you visit the site.
Until the tree dies and the carbon goes back into the atmosphere.
It is about as useful as a bullshit milkshake is to a vegan.
If ESG is anything to go by, just a greenwashing fad they'll drop as soon as it doesn't have the desired effect
Out of curiosity I've let it rate Low<-Tech Magazine, a website run on an ARM SBC powered exclusively with off-grid solar power, and that only achieves 87% / A.
Eheh nice one to test! If there's a 100% it should be that one
That is because they didn't pay their membership fee
Virtue signalling at its worst. It's completely meaningless.

What the hell is a green website

Those are green websites /s
Probably a better unit of measurement than this green washed bullshit.
Is it ending capitalism? If not, it's greenwashing. Any action other than stopping the one thing fucking up our planet is a distraction.
Communism will save the environment.
Who said anything about communism? I mean yes it's an option but I think the bigger priority is getting rid of fossil fascism.
What options are there really other than capitalism, communism, and everything that mixes the two?
No, you're right. There's only two sides: the good side and the evil side. You have to pick one and if you don't you're just in between the two.
Well if you force me to choose I will go for the one that won't fucking murder the planet and everyone on it, thank you very much.
yet you iphone venezuela 100 garillion dead!!1!1!!!!1!1!
Huh, figured your instance was anticommunist after that bad experience with /196's modteam. (banned me for saying maaybe we shouldn't be quoting Keffals, an open grifter who I've now been made aware of is also an open pedophile) Pleasantly surprised to see that isn't the case.
That's weird, this instance is pretty left leaning from my experience.
Every instance is left leaning, it's Lemmy
Good point
Huh, guess it was just that one community.
