The new Ethical Web principles from the W3C explicitly mention a sustainable web

Hi gang,

I wanted to flag this up in case anyone else had missed it. The W3C
recently published their Ethical web principles, and they explicitly
mentioned sustainability in them:


>
> *The web must be an environmentally sustainable platformThe web, as a
> whole, is a big consumer of power. New web technologies should not make
> this situation worse. We will consider power consumption when we introduce
> new technologies to the web.*
>

You can see the full list here:

https://www.w3.org/2001/tag/doc/ethical-web-principles/

How cool is that?

*Another interesting thing*

Does anyone know if there's a similar thing from others groups? When I
spoke to author Daniel Appelquist (torgo on twitter)
<https://twitter.com/torgo/> at  JSConfEU in Berlin, he mentioned something
interesting - I think that because there's a contributor agreement when you
join this mailing list, it's easier for existing companies to collaborate
and discuss future specs or conventions to use, that browsers or hosting
organisations can implement to help act on the stuff we keep asking for in
various talks and workshops.

As such, I'm going to start sharing ideas here, in the hope that it makes
it easier to start conversations that otherwise wouldn't happen, and I'd
suggest others do to, as it looks like a way to provide an on-ramp into
standards or solid recommendations further down the line.
