Re: Next steps towards a net zero IETF

[willi uebelherr <[e-mail]>]

Dear Greg and all,

IETF carbon footprint? Why?

Look to the US-Military and his initiated wars all over our planet. Look 
for the footprint of the US-Military and the militar-industrial-complex. 
Then you will find the real footprint.

But also you can look for what you create with this senseless structure 
of that, what you name "Internet".

You know "small is beautyful"? The name Internet comes from "the 
Inter-connection of local Net-works". And if you use the geolocation of 
the local network for the IP-address, you can save much effort to reduce 
the "carbon footprint".

But, please remember. Without CO2 there is no live on this planet.

Many greetings, willi
Asuncion, Paraguay

For 2023, we will implement this approach with data already available and seek to further improve it for future years. A blog post provides additional information and a link to a full report is at:
