What should I do about it ?

vict0rsch commented 4 years ago

It's not only about you personally: visit our "act" section to do what you can to limit your emissions while doing your impactful research but remember you can also have an impact by pushing larger organizations to take this into account. Use our latex template to report your emissions and spread this concern so that you share the burden :) The goal here is not to make you feel guilty, but responsible. And to support the many groups which work toward more energy-efficient AI

You may close the issue if and when you feel your concern's been addressed :)

Thank you, I do realize now that the first step for improvement is defining the metrics we care about.
