There is an environmental cost associated with our digital activities that has a real impact. The concept of a "carbon footprint" is not limited to the real world; it also spans the realm of cloud computing and the internet. "How Big Is Your Foot(print)?" introduces attendees to three tools for monitoring and managing the digital carbon footprint while underlining the important role that IT plays in environmental sustainability.

We will start with the Green Software Foundation's Impact Framework.. This tool, which is notable for its thorough methodology, offers a structured framework for assessing and improving the sustainability of software products. We'll talk about the way it works and how it enables the inclusion of greener practices into software design.

Next, we focus on the Cloud Carbon Footprint tool, which was designed for cloud-based services. This application is excellent in tracking and reporting cloud infrastructure's carbon emissions, providing IT professionals and businesses the details they need to maximize the use of cloud resources.

Finally, we examine the Website Carbon Calculator, a simple tool for calculating a website's carbon impact. We'll talk about how user-friendly it is and how it works to raise awareness of the impact of web services on the environment and encourages environmentally friendly web development.

We will contrast and compare these tools, paying particular attention to their advantages and disadvantages. We'll also address the difficulties in precisely calculating digital carbon emissions and the importance of ongoing innovation in this area.

Come learn about the complicated nature of digital carbon footprints and leave with the skills and information necessary to effect positive change in the environment. Recognizing the scope of your IT footprint is an important starting point toward a more sustainable future.
