Advent Calendar: Green Tech Edition

We all wait for December to come, and with it, the Advent Calendar. This year, I decided to create a special edition of the Advent Calendar, focusing on green tech: every day I shared approaches, resources and tools related to the environmental impact of tech and how we can make it more sustainable.

This blog post is a collection of all the posts I shared during the Advent Calendar, since I shared them on LinkedIn and I wanted to have them all in one place.

All of the posts are in English and almost all of them are in Italian too. If you can’t find the translation in the post, you can find it in the comments along with the “link/links of the day”.

I hope you enjoy it!
