Environment Variables Podcast | Ep 68 Community Publishing and Greening Software

In this episode of Environment Variables, host Chris Adams explores the theme
of Community Publishing and Greening Software, by talking to Branch Magazine’s
Hannah Smith and Marketa Benisek. They discuss community publishing and the
lessons learned from producing Branch Magazine, which supports sustainable
digital practices and includes diverse voices from the Green Software
Foundation. The discussion covers the complexities of adopting digital
sustainability and how Branch Magazine, through its innovative, carbon-aware
design, has been a platform for expressing these nuanced themes in
sustainability and how finding beauty in the imperfect might just be the
answer to all your problems!
