The Green Software Foundation flagship podcast is called Environment Variables, with new episodes released every Wednesday. Environment Variables has two types of episodes that are called The Week in Green Software and Fact Check. |
"Environment Variables is the voice of the Green Software Foundation." - Asim Hussain, Executive Director, Green Software Foundation.
The Environment Variables podcast launched in April 2022 to provide the Foundation a way to connect and inspire sustainability tech enthusiasts who prefer to listen rather than read. Asim Hussain, Chairperson, and Executive Director, believes "Environment Variables is the voice of the Green Software Foundation."
The podcast is one of the many ways the Foundation disseminates its content and shares insights, practical tips, and use cases to promote wide-scale industry adoption of green software. The podcast continues to play a vital role in improving knowledge by "surfacing interesting conversations from leaders and experts in the field of green software" and improving culture by "normalizing conversations about green software," objectives core to our theory of change.
During each episode, we discuss the latest news regarding how to reduce the emissions of software and how the industry is dealing with its own environmental impact. The host is typically joined by 1-3 guests each episode to dive into the latest news, insights, policy changes and standards shaping green software design and development.
One-on-one chats with someone in the Green Software field. Fact Check episodes are in short interview format. Each episode allows practitioners to learn more about an expert or thought leader in the field and their specialty.
