What are the best educational resources for a self-taught web developer who wants to specialize in sustainable web design?
I've been working as a freelance web developer for a few years, but I've always wanted to specialize in sustainable web design. I've been trying to learn more about it on my own, but I feel like I'm missing out on some key resources and knowledge. I've looked into online courses and tutorials, but most of them seem to focus on the technical aspects of web development rather than the sustainability aspect. I've also tried to read books and articles on the topic, but it's hard to find resources that cater specifically to self-taught developers like me. I'd love to hear from others who have experience in this field and find out what resources they recommend.
Some specific questions I have are: how can I learn about the environmental impact of different web development technologies and tools, and how can I balance my desire to create sustainable websites with the demands of clients who may not prioritize sustainability?

I totally understand where you're coming from - it can be tough to find resources that cater specifically to self-taught developers like yourself who are interested in sustainable web design. One resource that I think is really helpful is the book 'Sustainable Web Design' by Tom Greenwood - it's a great primer on the topic and covers both the technical and non-technical aspects of sustainable web development.
Another resource that I recommend is the website Sustainable Web Design, which has a wealth of information on the environmental impact of different web development technologies and tools. They also have a lot of great guides and tutorials on how to implement sustainable design principles in your own projects. Additionally, I'd suggest checking out the online community at the Sustainable Web Design Subreddit - it's a great place to connect with other developers who are interested in sustainable web design and ask questions.
As for balancing your desire to create sustainable websites with the demands of clients who may not prioritize sustainability, I think it's all about educating your clients and showing them the benefits of sustainable web design. You could also consider offering your services at a premium rate to clients who are interested in sustainable web design, which can help offset the time and resources you invest in creating sustainable websites. Ultimately, it's about finding a balance that works for you and your business.
