@greenfediverse what is really interesting about emissions is what they call "scope 3" emissions: the emissions of the supply chain. So we need more of:
- usage of and long lasting hardware (-> @monocles )
- procurement of "fairphone-like hardware"
- / reused datacenter buildings

I tried to reflect this in following draft of a list:
lite.framacalc.org/green-webho

For the second point (hardware procurement), only was mentioning this in their sustainability report, where they preferred hardware vendors with a good rating by Oekom. E.g. HP is one of those vendors, already trying to make their supply chain more transparent, but there is lot of room for improvement compared to what is able to do in the IT market!

@greenfediverse @monocles

made a great report about those "scope3 emissions":

Most of the GWP (Global Warming Potential) is caused by the production of the phone itself. As one could imagine, the most intensive part is the mainboard. I would be interested to see such numbers for a datacenter. I guess there are a LOT of mainboards...
