On Monday I hosted a brilliant event with an incredibly inspiring speaker, Ashley John from OYNK Ash talked to us about Digital Sustainability which is a subject that is not talked about. There is a very common misconception that all our data is kept in the ‘cloud’ but the reality is these clouds are huge data centres that are powered by fossil fuels. Our personal digital footprints are enormous, so can you even imagine how much carbon your websites are producing? Ashley John is passionate about reducing this and within his talk he spoke about the enormity of the issue and how simple changes can make such a difference to your carbon footprint, but also how it can actually make your user experience so much better and your websites look amazing! Ash has also got this super handy tool that allows you to find out how eco friendly your website it, just head over to ecopigs to find out what your score is.Thank you Ash for a such an interesting, scary and innovative talk.Thank you to Vulcan Works for hosting us, and to all of you that came along.See you soon, Yvette
