For example we as end users use electricity to power the PCs we use which produces effect on the environment. Can we rather consider using solar generated power?ICANN offices should use solo power, and also ask for example ccTLD registries to use environmentally friendly power sources - solar power. Even data centers should equally do so among others.This will in a way make us contribute in achieving part of the SDGs._______________________________________________On Thu, Aug 8, 2024 at 8:08 PM Abdeldjalil Bachar Bong via AFRI-Discuss <afri-discuss@icann.org> wrote:_______________________________________________English
