Understand and reduce your carbon impact with Cloudflare

What this post added

This post introduces the Carbon Impact Report, a new tool for Cloudflare accounts to understand the environmental impact of operating their Internet properties on Cloudflare's network. It outlines the methodology for calculating carbon savings, which involves comparing the energy used by Cloudflare's edge infrastructure for a customer's data transfer against the estimated carbon cost of data transfer through average non-Cloudflare networks. The report provides savings in CO2e and offers relatable comparisons, such as to light bulb usage. It also reiterates Cloudflare's commitment to 100% renewable energy for its network and highlights how services like WAF, Network Firewall, DDoS mitigation, and Image Resizing contribute to reduced carbon footprints.
