Our cause
SustainableWWW (World-Wide-Web) is a group of web developers and designers that are dedicated to teach the way of sustainable and environmentally friendly web design.
We work actively with lowering the carbon footprint of the internet by spreading awareness and teaching sustainable methods. We cannot change the course alone, but if we work together we can lower the overall environmental impact and make the internet more accessible to people in areas with low bandwidth.
Contact usAt this very moment the internet is causing so much pollution that if it was a country it would be the 6th biggest polluter in the world. It is predicted that in 2025 the internet will emit more carbon dioxide than any country except the U.S, China and India.
More than 250,000 additional deaths per year is what climate change is expected to cause between year 2030 and 2050.
Renewable energy only made up 28% of global electricity used in 2020.

I have included the best knowledge I have gained over the years working with sustainable web design and written it into 20 separate lessons.
