What is the Sustainable Web Manifesto?

Initiated by an environmentally conscious London agency, Wholegrain Digital: https://www.wholegraindigital.com/, the Sustainable Web Manifesto is a response to the increasing use of data on the web.
As you saw in Lesson 1 of this module the web and the digital world are having a crucial ecological impact. "If the Internet was a country, it would be the 7th biggest polluter"? This is why Wholegrain Digital proposes 6 fundamental principles that all actors involved in the digital world should commit to respect in order to globally reduce this impact.

What are these fundamental principles?
Clean: The services we provide and the services we use will be powered by renewable energy.
Efficient: The products and services we provide will use the least amount of energy and material resources possible.
Open: The products and services we provide will be accessible, allow for the open exchange of information, and allow users to control their data.
Honest: The products and services we provide will not deceive or exploit users in their design or content.
Regenerative: The products and services we provide will support an economy that feeds people and the planet.
Resilient: The products and services we provide will work when and where people need them most.
