Finding Beauty in the Imperfect
Issue 8: Spring 2024
As we put the individual articles of this issue together and stepped back, we realised that the theme of “finding beauty in the imperfect” can be viewed not only as a mindset, but also as a loose journey guiding us on how to build a just, sustainable and more humane web. The grouping of these articles reflects that, which we explain in more detail in the editors’ letter.
This issue is a collaboration between Wholegrain Digital and Green Web Foundation.
About Branch
Branch is an online magazine written by and for people who dream of a sustainable and just internet for all. It is edited and funded by the Green Web Foundation on behalf of the volunteer-run Climate Action.tech community.
We believe that the internet must serve our collective liberation and ecological sustainability. We want the internet to dismantle the power structures that delay climate action and for the internet itself to become a sustainable and positive force for climate justice.
Grid-aware by design
You might also notice something slightly different about this website. It changes its design based on the quantity of fossil fuels on the grid to stay inside a carbon budget at all times. Learn more.
Branch is a non-profit magazine. We rely on support from readers and organizations to pay authors and artists and keep the lights on. We want to continue publishing twice a year and enable more analysis and experimentation that others can build upon.
