Tech Industry Competition: A Call for Sustainable Solutions The tech industry has long been known for its intense competition, where innovation is key to staying ahead. But as companies race to develop the next big breakthrough, one question often overlooked is how sustainable these advancements are. From the energy-intensive data centers to the resource-heavy production of devices, the environmental impact of the tech industry is significant. With the growing awareness of climate change, both consumers and businesses are beginning to look for more eco-friendly alternatives. This shift opens up new opportunities for companies to differentiate themselves by incorporating sustainability into their operations and products. Beyond efficiency improvements, businesses can think bigger—what if the environments we work in, live in, and innovate within were sustainable, too? At our self-sustainable city project, we see the potential for tech innovation to align with sustainable living. We believe the future of the tech industry can be supported by eco-friendly infrastructure—powered by renewable energy, designed for minimal waste, and focused on long-term environmental stewardship. This vision is not just for the tech giants but for all who are part of this thriving sector. After all, true innovation solves more than just today’s problems—it builds a better tomorrow.

Yesterday I attended the Green IO 🎙️ conference in London and was blown away to see so many people excited about digital sustainability. Last year the conference was in the same room and half full, and this year it was literally overflowing all day with people squeezed at the back. That's amazing progress in just 12 months!! 💚 I had the pleasure of bumping into some super inspiring people in the digital sustainability space including Thorsten Jonas, Ben Clifford, Sandra P., Arwel Owen, Neil Clark, Andri Johnston, Alexander Dawson, Oliver Winks, Scott Stonham, Jonathan Bell, Asim Hussain, Chris Adams and of course the hero who made it all happen, Gaël DUEZ 😍 A few takeaways for me were: 1. Adding social and environmental considerations into existing steps of the design process instead of adding extra steps is more efficient and easier to get clients engaged. 2. 'User Experience' design is great but it makes us tunnel visioned about the user and ignores the experience of other humans (or non-humans) that are affected by the designs we create. 3. AI is generally bad for the environment, but according to Anne Currie, if people are made to choose between sustainability and AI then most will choose AI. Therefore it's important to also be proactive in exploring ways to make AI more eco-friendly. Some ideas include moving computation to times and places in the world where excess renewable energy is available, and developing more specialised models for specialised tasks. 4. Real time energy pricing is going to become standard everywhere eventually, meaning that designing software that can be intelligent about when and where it does its heavy computation will become commercially important (and that can help the environment too). 5. GitHub are doing interesting sustainability projects and apparently do calculate the carbon footprint of their co-pilot AI tool. Paull Young do you know if this data is public? 6. Consensus is important in the emerging green web/IT space, especially around energy and carbon calculations. We don't all have to agree and different opinions should be welcomed. Organically the field will develop through the 'rough' consensus that emerges. 7. We need to think beyond carbon emissions (water, minerals etc) and also thinking more holistically about humanity and the environment. 8. AI Sustainability is not the same thing as AI for Sustainability! 9. The Sustainable Web Guidelines are a key resource available to all and the team behind it are making great strides in making sustainability and official pillar of the W3C. 💪 As a side note, I couldn't help but notice how nearly everyone referred to digital technology and the digital sector as "technology" and "tech" as if there are no other types of technology. If it isn't digital, is it not real technology? 🙈 Overall a great event and I hope to see it continue to grow! #greentech #greenweb #digitalsustainability #sustainability #greensoftware #greenit #aisustainability
