Doing for Sustainability, What Open Source Did for Software
summary
An open‑source tool called Impact Framework converts easily observed signals (CPU utilization, page views, installs, prompts) into environmental impacts via configurable YAML manifests and a micro plugin pipeline of model plugins; results feed a visualizer and shareable IMP files. Demoed outputs include the Green Software Foundation website at 2.4 kg/month and 0.129 g CO2 per visit and a 30‑minute five‑person Zoom at ~0.5 kg (~84 g per participant). The system is usable, extensible, and hackathon‑proven.
