Sounds like he just created a Slack channel where people could chit-chat about "sustainability" much like they chat about football or ESports.

Then he found out these guys actually spend all their working lives implementing plugins that do little more than display "Your site needed 0.04663kg of CO2 to run this year" next to a green leaf.

Seeing how they spent 1,5 years on this and have little more to show than "concepts of a plan" he was right to shut this down.



One could argue the sustainability team was disbanded in the name of sustainability.


One could argue the moon is made of cheese.


> spend all their working lives

These were volunteers.

> Seeing how they spent 1,5 years

They didn't.

> he was right to shut this down.

Ignorance is a choice.
