How to measure the GHG emissions of your website
Measuring a website's greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions can help analyze and determine opportunities for decreasing its carbon footprint and promoting sustainability. Here are some steps to measure the GHG emissions of your site:
Determine the energy consumption
Determine the website's energy consumption by estimating the energy usage of each website component like servers, network equipment, user devices, and even browsers. This information can be obtained from your web hosting provider or from an analysis of your energy consumption data of the devices you access the website.
Determine the carbon intensity
The carbon intensity of the electricity varies depending on the location and source of the electricity. This information can be obtained from the local electricity supplier or through carbon calculators.
Calculate the carbon footprint
Calculate the website's carbon footprint by multiplying its energy consumption by the carbon intensity of the electricity. This will give you an estimate of the GHG emissions associated with your website.
Optimize you website code
Identify how to reduce GHG emissions by optimizing website code, reducing file sizes, and using more energy-efficient servers and equipment.
There are several online tools available that can help you measure the carbon footprint of your websites such as Website Carbon Calculator and Greenpixie
Of course, it's very important to be aware of what your website actually emits, but it's even more crucial what changes and improvements implement. If you need help moving forward, don't hesitate, we're here to help!
What’s a Rich Text element?
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
Static and dynamic content editing
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
How to customize formatting for each rich text
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
