Yes, websites have a carbon footprint
Website Carbon is a service made by
Wholegrain digital to help inspire and educate people to create a zero carbon internet. Provides an easy way to check the carbon footprint of your website.
They provide a official badge to put on your website, and with this plugin, you can have that badge as a reactive Gutenberg block, thanks to the new
Interactivity API
How it works
This plugin adds a new block to the Gutenberg editor, called "Carbonbadge". You can add it to any post or page, and it will show the carbon footprint of the current page.
The block will render a badge with the carbon footprint of the current page, and a link to the Website Carbon website.
The data is fetched from the Website Carbon API, with a client side call, and it's updated every time the page is loaded. The result for a concrete page is cached for 24 hours, client side.
More information on the Website Carbon badge can be found
