The Green New UNIX
We only have one planet, and we're choking it with CO2! As programmers, we contribute to this:
- we love our deliveries from the other side of the world,
- we dig our streaming services which amount to digital deliveries that consume cloud and networking electricity, and
- we drone away all day long in our pajamas with the heat jacked up.
What can we do!? We need a Green New Deal...for UNIX!
Lets grow trees.
tree Command
Quickly look at the tree command.
An example:
$ tree path/to/folder/
path/to/folder/
├── a-first.html
├── b-second.html
├── subfolder
│ ├── readme.html
│ ├── code.cpp
│ └── code.h
└── z-last-file.html
1 directories, 6 files
I know. Maybe a little underwhelming. But remember, every little tree grown helps! Thus we're going to similarly grow some trees in our own garden!
Go Forth, Green Warrior!
Check out garden.c.
Within it are four TODO items.
Go forth with your green thumbs and tend to your trees!
