Dear CAT Community,

Over the last few months ThoughtWorks, with the help and support of a number of innovation partners and community members (including CATâs), have built a tool to estimate energy use (kilowatt-Hours) and carbon emissions (metric tons CO2e) from public cloud usage. We hope the tool will help organizations and individuals measure and reduce their cloud emissions. The tool is now open source and available for use (https://www.cloudcarbonfootprint.org/) and contributions!
Stay safe & healthy ð ð ð±
