Hello,

What about self-hosted websites?

Thanks

If you're choosing to self host your website website, then I'd say you have some responsibility for sourcing clean power for the electricity you use, or if you can't, accounting for it somehow.

This might be a green tariff, or if you are in part of the world where that isn't possible, you either sourcing the power youself, or accounting for it some other way, like paying to draw down the carbon being in the air on your behalf.

Where in the world are you referring to specifically?

@mrchrisadams Thanks for your quick answer.

I have the chance to live in Quebec, so my server is running under hydro-electricity.

But what should i wrote in my carbon.txt if i self-hosted my site? The default domain name of the server?

Ciao, have a nice day :)

@mrchrisadams Hello,

Right now my cabon.txt contains only Hydro-Quebec: https://hugo.soucy.cc/carbon.txt.
