Measure your website's emissions

Hey y'all,

Long time lurker, first time poster!

After reading that the internet accounts for 4% of the world's electricity (memes are worth it imo), my friend Ivan and I built a little tool to help us figure out how much CO2 emissions our own websites were responsible for.

We realized a bunch of people were asking this same question, so we turned it into a service.
Besides measuring your emissions, it also gives you insights into what you can do to reduce them and optionally lets you remove them using carbon removal services.

Measuring your emissions is free while in beta, you can get started here:

We're also just starting out, so any feedback & suggestions are appreciated.

Learned a lot from dev.to, thanks for being such an awesome community!
