    From Website Carbon:

    a screenshot from a web site that checks the carbon footprint of a page load on another web site; it says "A+ Website carbon results for: perfectmotherfuckingwebsite.com Hurrah! This web page achieves a carbon rating of A+ This is cleaner than 100% of all web pages globally"

    Nice! Less than 0.01g of CO2 is produced every time someone visits this web page.

    Holy shit! That web site lives up to its name! I want to redesign my site to be that fast and elegant.

      Yeah I’m not convinced that this site is accurate. According to this my blog pollutes more than facebook . com (I’m apparently as dirty as netflix . com) and is only slightly dirtier than newyorktimes . com… And images . google . com gets an A… I ain’t buying it.
