Greening Digital
Join me as I share everything I learn about greening the way we build digital products.
Hi, I’m Chris. I've been working in environmentally focussed tech orgs for the last 15 years, and I’m trying out a newsletter with my friend and collaborator Martin, to help make it easier to write about what we’ve been learning along the way.
Who we are
I’m currently a director of the Green Web Foundation, an organiser of ClimateAction.tech, and I run a tiny climate ‘n’ tech co-working space in Berlin with a Martin.
Martin studied climate policy for Master's degree in Political Science and Public Administration, and has been working as professional software developer, as well as spending the last 5 years teaching at Berlin’s Open Tech School.
Why are we doing this?
We're trying to figure out how to make greening digital a thing we can do, full time, as a day job, in 2020, as it feels like one of the most useful things we can do with ourselves, in the middle of a climate emergency.
But for now, during September and October of 2019, I’ll be joining the 1ft high club, travelling around Western Europe on an Interrail pass, and working with people on different open source projects in this field.
This is partly an experiment in seeing what low carbon developer relations might look like, and partly an excuse to visit people and projects we’ve learned about over the last 15 years, and share it back here.

In the meantime, tell your friends!
