How do we get the sustainable software tag?

Like here https://github.com/topics/sustainable-software?l=python&o=desc&s=stars

Maybe also sustainability and #green?

It can be done easily, via a setting in the repo's main page (under about to the right side): https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/managing-your-repositorys-settings-and-features/customizing-your-repository/classifying-your-repository-with-topics

Need admin privileges on repo to do this though, so I can't add them.

I've taken a look through what some tags other people are using and compiled a list here, + how many repos use these tags:

climate-change - 1099 sustainability - 740 carbon-emissions - 208 carbon-footprint - 203 energy-data - 181 metrics-gathering - 159 sustainable-development-goals - 126 co2-emissions - 99 sustainable-software -51 power-consumption - 37 green-software - 30 green-energy - 27 green-computing - 26 climate-change-mitigation - 17 power-consumption-measurement - 13 carbon-footprint-estimation - 6 carbon-footprint-calculator - 5 *

Lets discuss tomorrow which ones we want to add (the ones marked with a * are my recommendations)

is there a downside of setting too many?

@ribalba Any further ideas?
