Cloud Computing

• Cloud computing is not necessarily better

• Efficient != Sustainable

• 4% of global emissions by 2020

• 1 AWS m1.xlarge server = 1 person

• Where does the power come from?

The Cleanweb Manifesto

Sunday, 17 March 13

We know that as a species, we are hitting the limits, in resources,

pollution, and our impact on the natural world. We know that

exponential growth in a closed system is dangerous. We know that we must reduce the impact of our

society immediately or face widespread systemic failure.

Sunday, 17 March 13

As makers and entrepreneurs, our task is to make these constraints

work for us, and use our creativity to deliver progress without the costs we previously accepted as a side effect

of our work.

Sunday, 17 March 13

We have very little time, but we have an incredibly powerful tool at our

disposal. We have to apply the power of the web to make change happen at

all levels of society, transforming businesses, governments, and

citizens on a massive scale.

Sunday, 17 March 13

Beginning today, we will dedicate ourselves to this mission. We will

work on projects with true meaning, that make the future a better place to be, rather than creating illusory short-

term value.

Sunday, 17 March 13

We hope you will join us. We have a lot of work to do.
