Why Every Developer Should Care About the Environment
summary
Claim: civilisation collapses in 10–15 years without immediate rapid large‑scale emissions cuts, current warming is ~1.2°C and 1.5°C breached within 20 years is plausible; concrete numbers include animal agriculture at 51% of global GHGs and a nearby coal pit emitting as much CO2 as New Zealand. Practical tools and fixes: search with ecosia.org, tune your Xcode with Instruments to cut runtime and location use, serve smaller images, disable autoplay, run on 100% renewable energy, adopt plant‑based company lunches, reduce flying, install photovoltaics, consider shared solar EVs like Soda Motors prototypes.
