🌍💻 'Monitoring Carbon Emissions at Home' Ross Spencer, Digital Preservation Analyst, has long wondered about the environmental impact of his work from home. Specifically, how much do his daily #digitalpreservation tasks and computer usage contribute to carbon emissions? In his latest blog for the Open Preservation Foundation, Ross delves into the carbon footprint of working remotely and how these emissions add up across the digital preservation community. It's an insightful exploration of how we, as professionals, can better understand and address our environmental impact. Check out the full blog to learn more about this important topic and join the conversation on sustainability in digital preservation. https://lnkd.in/e2GM3zgj #CarbonFootprint #Sustainability #RemoteWork
