The past month or so on linkedin I've been seeing Dryden Williams making informative posts about website carbon emissions.

Like in the screen grab: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/dryden-williams-444879143_coolgraphalert-activity-7080567743485243392-N06G

The climate emergency is quite scary, but I want my actions to be part of a solution. I'll be addressing the actions over the next week. Balancing shipping new features instead of prioritising.
