ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Host Chris Adams talks with Adam Newman and Oli Winks of Root & Branch about their new Software Carbon Intensity Web model for measuring the real carbon footprint of websites. They break down why current methods miss the mark, how their bottom-up approach captures actual energy use across servers, networks and devices, and why better measurement can lead to smarter, lower-carbon choices for teams. It’s a candid look at what it really takes to make the web greener, and the tools that can help developers get there.
