• 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.
