Try the Google Cloud Carbon Footprint Region Picker yourself.

  • Do you think you will ever consider your carbon-foot print when using cloud services?
  • Would you ever want to see a carbon-foot print as part of the cost and usage reporting within your cloud service provider (CSPs)?

Did you know there is a Forem server just for just the cloud? www.thedev.cloud
