GreenBiz — The future is climate-friendly software
by Asim Hussain · 4 June 2021
We often look at sustainability in tech through the lens of hardware... Relatively little has been done to look at sustainability through the lens of software. From where we are sitting, there seem to be some ripe easy pickings.

We think we can pull some pretty big levers through just growing the ecosystem of people with the skills to build software that emits less carbon, as well as creating standards that organizations can easily adopt or that might influence policy decisions.

GreenBiz interviewed me about how software design and coding practices can help cut carbon. I explained why we’ve spent so long looking at sustainability through the lens of hardware — and how much low-hanging fruit appears the moment you start looking at it through the lens of software instead.
