Inspiration – The Climate Fixathon
The world's first online hackathon to help fix the climate
Use VR prototyping where possible to reduce waste
Choose hosting solutions powered by renewable energy wherever possible
Especially for heavy-computation tasks, run the jobs or process the data only when strictly necessary
Reduce remote data transfer as much as possible
Implement server side caching or static technology to minimise server load
Opt for renewable electricity derived from natural sources, wherever possible
Consider a scheduled sleep-mode when the project is not in use
Enable idle or low power modes on any hardware that supports these features
Consider the efficiency of heating (and insulation) or cooling (and ventilation) requirements
Use energy efficiency as criteria when selecting equipment, not just up-front cost
Think carefully about which tasks run more efficiently locally or which could be run on cloud/server infrastructure

Our new blog is designed to radically reduce the energy use associated with accessing our content.
Here’s How Designers Are Handling It
To focus on energy efficiency is to make present ways of life non-negotiable.
The embodied energy of the memory chip alone exceeds the energy consumption of a laptop during its life expectancy of 3 years.
