What inspired or motivated you to give this talk at WordCamp?
Working in the field of climate change, I am interested in helping people understand the science, impacts, and solutions to this immense problem. The web hosting industry will soon produce more greenhouse gas emissions globally than the aviation industry. I want to let people know that they can find and take part in solutions to decrease their footprint while using WordPress.
Do you have any advice or words of encouragement for those who are thinking about getting involved in the WordPress community?
I don’t work in the industry, but as someone who has volunteered and used WordPress personally, I know that the community is like nothing I have ever seen. The amount of knowledge and skill sharing in the WordPress community is unprecedented and so wonderful to see. Be a part of it!
