Building a Sustainable Internet
The physical infrastructures behind producing the internet has large environmental costs. For example, data centers are currently responsible for over 3% United States power usage. The research looks to reveal the hidden environmental costs of the internet, as well as develop a set of metrics to measure the sustainability efforts of digital infrastructure industries.
