The EcoSend Podcast

With his passion for technology, and fond memories of a childhood growing up in rural Denmark, Michael Andersen seemed destined for a career in Digital Sustainability. 

Since building his first website at the age of 12(!), Michael has been fascinated with problem-solving and using technology for a better world. 

This led Michael to found 'Sustainable WWW' - a non-profit focused on spreading knowledge about sustainable web design and development, as well as authoring the book 'Sustainable Web Design In 20 Lessons', published in March 2023. All alongside his day-job as a senior Frontend developer!

We were delighted to welcome Michael for the second episode of Season Four, to talk us through:

🧐 Michael's top-tips for optimising the Sustainability credentials of your website.
🇸🇪 Why Sweden is leading the way in 'Green Hosting'.
❤️ His main sources of inspiration in the Digital Sustainability space.

... and much more! ✨

Michael is a fantastic example of living a life combining talent with purpose. We hope you can take lessons and inspiration from his 'Tech for Nature' approach 🙌
