Your Frontend's Carbon Footprint - Measuring Impact with CO2.js

Explore the world of decreasing CO2 emissions in frontend applications through this informative conference talk. Discover how to measure the carbon footprint of your code using CO2.js, a library created by The Green Web Foundation. Learn about two key models for calculating emissions: the Sustainable Web Design model, which considers data center usage, network transfer, end-user device usage, and hardware production, and the 1Byte model, focusing on data center and network emissions. Gain practical knowledge on transforming bytes into CO2 emissions and understand how average carbon intensity of electricity plays a role in these calculations. By the end of this 31-minute Devoxx presentation, you'll be equipped with hands-on examples and the tools needed to measure and potentially reduce your coding emissions, empowering you to contribute to climate change solutions as a software developer, architect, or manager.
