= Environmental Sustainability =
We’re in a climate crisis. We know that the The internet contributes significantly to the world’s global carbon emissions. But we also believe in the internet’s potentialinternet as a global public good that can inform, empower and connect us.
So how can we reduce emissions and advance a more sustainable internet? What else could the open internet do for the planet?
 
We invite technologists, designers, political minds, activists and citizens who care about the internet and our planet to imagine alternatives and develop potential ideas for the future together.
On our journey to environmental sustainability, we’ve started by weaving different pieces of exploration into a larger picture. We’re adopting a time lens (more on each below)we began several open explorations:* The past: Visit our Museum of the Fossilized Internet.* The present: That’s us, thinking about what to do and why.* The future: Contribute to the wiki of 1000 ideas and help develop future scenarios.
All * '''[[Projects/Sustainability/Museum | Visit our Museum of these are designed the Fossilized Internet.]]''' In this research object, we explore the major contributions to spark conversationthe internet's carbon footprint through an imagined (miniature) museum from the future. * '''[[Projects/Sustainability/Scenarios | Future Scenarios.]]''' In this participatory process, generate boldwe developed desirable future scenarios where we imagined a greener internet, actionable ideasas well as ambitious changes in society, economics and initiate collaborations towards technology. * '''[[Projects/Sustainability/Ideas | 1000 Ideas.]]''' In a series of workshops, we asked what can be done right now to make the internet more sustainable internet -- and all of these are open to sharing and contributing. We’ve started exploring by using art because environmental sustainability is complex and entangled. ArtThese ideas range from very specific actions, on these termslike changes in UI or hosting providers, doesn’t just open up creative understanding, it also allows us to paint a broader calls for more holistic picture without prioritizing which issue to tackle firstresearch and advocacy.
All of these explorations are designed to spark conversation and generate bold, actionable ideas. Our hope is that we can collaboration within and beyond Mozilla towards a more sustainable internet, and we welcome working with anyone interested in making that happen.
Individual and collective action need to go together: everyone can do their part and we need systemic change. We’re not looking to vilify people or behaviours, instead we’re inviting everyone to join our journey in figuring out how to do better, and what that even means.
Through discussion and reflection, we hope these scenarios may expose where there is consensus as well as disagreement among participants, while also narrowing down the slate of scenarios to those that generate the most ideas, potential shared goals and actions.
It’s a thought experiment and we’re going bold (crazy?) on purpose. Help us Let's imagine a different world, so we can decide which one we actually want to work towards.
In a next step, we aim to develop these headlines into stories in an effort to identify opportunities, shortfalls, and requirements.
= 1000 Ideas =
There are thousands of things we can do to advance a more sustainable internet.
Below you’ll find a list of the ones we gathered through brainstorming, workshops, and feedback. We've used a "double diamond" approach, i.e. we went as wide and broad as possible, generating ideas regardless of feasibility or likelihood. You can keep adding to them and help us link out to projects and research that may bring them to life.
We then narrowed these down to a few top ones (below) that have sparked most feedback and engagement so far.
