Today, we are experiencing the adverse effects of the climate crisis more than ever. Companies have an important role in increasing environmental awareness and reducing carbon emissions.

Websites may cause a high carbon deficit by their design, coding, or their hosting.  There are a couple of changes in those areas, for example, using images with low resolutions, switching your host with green hosting, and creating a user-friendly interface. These steps will be beneficial both for your website and the environment.
