Take the shift to renewable energy sources like solar or wind power behind your servers for example:
- : It's great in theory but adds '''20% more cost and complexity

Using machine learning to predict user behavior can help tailor content for maximum engagement while minimizing environmental impact.
Embrace true sustainability, don't greenwash.
Keep it simple: reduce unnecessary requests & optimize code first; then consider bigger changes like renewable energy if feasible and cost-effective
