Today, I had a meeting with someone who works for the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology in India. He was at some UN forum recently where they were discussing the carbon footprint of the internet and he mentioned that there's very little data on this. Well guess what, here on #mastodon I've been following the work of @Aepasek and I immediately ended up sharing her research with him, especially this paper on The world wide web of carbon: Toward a relational footprinting of information and communications technology’s climate impacts. Thank you Anne for your research on this!

He was grateful and exited to look into this further! And now I'm trying to see if he'd be interested in collaborating with us on our digitization project. It's a long shot, but worth a try.. he said he'll get back to me by next week. Let's see if that happens 🙈
