Scenario

When startup founders discover their environmental solution contributes to data center energy problems

My co-founder and I built our app to help people track their carbon footprint but we just learned our user base growth means we're now responsible for significant data center energy consumption ourselves. We're both questioning whether we're actually helping or just creating a different kind of environmental problem while feeling good about ourselves.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people are confronting the possibility that their solution may be part of the problem they set out to solve.
