Our digital footprint

The Going Green Media website was built with a low-carbon approach to design and development. We follow procedures to ensure that our digital footprint is minimal, and our mission for a greener future can be supported by the end user (that's you!).
‍
This commitment starts with our minimal-load design. We optimise every element, compress every image, and use efficient styling and classes to minimise our code output. This planet-first approach decreases our digital footprint while creating a smoother user experience through less unnecessary data and faster load times.
