He's looking to work with groups like The Green Grid and funding from ad
agencies and other groups to quantify just what computing resources are used
to generate ads, content and e-mail.

interactive agencies who want to be able to calculate the carbon footprint
of ads."

"carbon footprint of ads"?

All those things you heard about the number of clicks, dumping every
imaginable link on the home page, max page sizes under 30Kb, etc were true.
>From this point on, every gratuitous call-back to a web server will have to
be offset by planting a daisy and violators will be forced by the green
police to listen to An Inconvenient Pixel, since the video version on
YouTube would be environmentally catastrophic.

Geez.
