## What is sustainable software?

Sustainable or ‘Green’ Software is a movement within the software industry which aims to measure and reduce the environmental impact of developing and hosting applications. The Green Software Foundation has identified the following principles:
**Carbon Efficiency:** Emit the least amount of carbon possible.
**Energy Efficiency: **Use the least amount of energy possible.
**Carbon Awareness:** Do more when the electricity is cleaner and do less when the electricity is dirtier.
**Hardware Efficiency: **Use the least amount of embodied carbon possible.
**Measurement: **What you can't measure, you can't improve.
**Climate Commitments: **Understand the exact mechanism of carbon reduction.
