Green Coding is a technique of writing code in an environmentally friendly way. The audience will learn how this can be put into practice with Python and django.

This talk is aimed at django developers of all levels, teaching the audience the principles of Green Coding, how they can be incorporated into django, help ensure that applications are built to run efficiently to be environmentally friendly, and to leave with a changed mindset of being more efficient.
