Sharing this here - Call for Applications: Environmental Impact of Data-Driven Technologies Workshop

Hey folks,

I had this shared with me through my networks, and it seemed like it would
totally be up our street.

https://datasociety.net/blog/2018/07/03/call-for-applications-environmental-impact-of-data-driven-technologies-workshop/

*On November 2, 2018, Data & Society will host a workshop in NYC on
the environmental impact of data-driven technologies. The purpose of the
Data & Society Workshop series is to enable deep dives with a broad
community of interdisciplinary researchers into topics at the core of Data
& Society’s concerns.*

Is anyone planning to go?

I'm really keen to head to this, but I'm also aware of the irony of flying
to the US to talk about the environmental impact of the web, and IT in
general, as the more I read, the more I'm thinking that one of the biggest
steps available to tech firms, or people building the web is to actually
keep an eye on emissions from travel along the lines of aviation and
commuting.

So, I'm sharing it with some folks who might be geographically closer and
interested in it.
