The 10 best tools to green your software

In July, NASA recorded the hottest day in history, highlighting the urgent need for climate action, particularly in the tech industry, due to increasing carbon emissions from industrial activities. In response, the developer community is encouraged to engage in creating green software that minimizes carbon emissions through energy efficiency, carbon awareness, and hardware efficiency. GitHub has curated a Green Software Directory, featuring tools like Scaphandre, Kepler, and Code Carbon, which help measure and reduce software-related carbon footprints. These resources aim to assist developers, from beginners to experts, in adopting sustainable coding practices, fostering innovation while reducing environmental impact. The initiative invites contributions to expand this directory and promote ongoing dialogue about sustainable software development.
