They highlight how the lack of standardized metrics makes it difficult to fairly compare energy efficiency and can lead to inconsistent reporting. They also discuss a curated set of open-source tools for measuring software energy use and why measurement is a critical but challenging first step. Finally, they explore a broader view of digital sustainability beyond carbon and highlight the launch of the Green Software Foundation website as a key resource.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Learn more about our people:</strong></p><ul><li>Aditya Manglik: <a href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/in/adityamanglik/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">LinkedIn</a> | <a href=\"https://github.com/adityamanglik\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">GitHub</a> | <a href=\"https://adityamanglik.github.io/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Website</a></li><li>Valeria Salis: <a href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/in/valeria-salis?originalSubdomain=it\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">LinkedIn</a> | <a href=\"https://github.com/vallss\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">GitHub</a> | <a href=\"https://valeriasalis.com/en/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Website</a></li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>Find out more about the GSF:</strong></p><ul><li><a href=\"https://greensoftware.foundation/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">The Green Software Foundation Website</a>&nbsp;</li><li>Sign up to the <a href=\"https://greensoftware.foundation/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Green Software Foundation Newsletter</a></li></ul><p><br></p><h3>News:</h3><ul><li><a href=\"https://aclanthology.org/2026.findings-eacl.249/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Benchmarking the Energy Savings with Speculative Decoding Strategies | ACL Anthology</a> [02:11]</li><li><a href=\"https://arxiv.org/html/2603.21772v1\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">A Curated List of Open-source Software‑only Energy Efficiency Measurement Tools: A GitHub Mining Study</a> [12:32]</li><li><a href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/what-do-we-mean-digital-sustainability-catherine-mulligan-ph-d-fhea-lk4je/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">What do we mean by Digital Sustainability? | Catherine Mulligan</a> [19:33]</li><li><a href=\"https://grnsft.org/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Green Software Foundation</a> [25:42]&nbsp;</li><li><a href=\"https://movement.greensoftware.foundation/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Green Software Movement</a> [27:21]</li></ul><p><br></p><h3>Events:</h3><ul><li><a href=\"https://luma.com/yc5ip7mg\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">When Sustainable Product Design Becomes Strategic Advantage</a> | 7 Apr 5:00pm CEST (Virtual) [28:17]&nbsp;</li><li><a href=\"https://www.meetup.com/green-software-development-karlsruhe/events/313655217/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">GreenOps PowerBI Dashboard</a> | 7 Apr 6:30pm CEST (Karlsruhe, hybrid) [28:32]</li><li><a href=\"https://luma.com/vr2ahb8c\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">CodeCarbon x Pruna x Ecologits Frugal AI Party</a> | 8 Apr 6:00pm CEST (Paris) [28:51]</li><li><a href=\"https://greenio.tech/conference/18/singapore-2026-april\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Singapore Conference April 14th to 15th 2026</a> | 14-15 Apr (Singapore) [29:18]</li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>If you enjoyed this episode then please either:</strong></p><ul><li>Follow, rate, and review on <a href=\"https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/environment-variables/id1618265745\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Apple Podcasts</a></li><li>Follow and rate on <a href=\"https://open.spotify.com/episode/0C4N7dk5p461ugjeoZGLqz\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Spotify</a></li><li>Watch our videos on The Green Software Foundation <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCj0m2KL1yQzcCbmSj7AaAoA/videos\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">YouTube Channel!</a></li><li>Connect with us on <a href=\"https://twitter.com/gsfcommunity?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter</a>, <a href=\"https://github.com/Green-Software-Foundation\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Github</a> and <a href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/company/green-software-foundation/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">LinkedIn</a>!</li></ul>","author_name":"Green Software Foundation"}
