I have to add the Open Sustainable Technology Project, which lists worldwide open technology projects preserving a stable climate, energy supply, and important natural resources.

The Website Carbon Calculator is well worth looking at if you are interested in your website's environmental impact. The web uses a huge amount of resources, and if we all optimised our sites a little to reduce carbon emissions it would make a big impact.
Websites like this one should have a greater future and more detailed charts to encourage web designers for new sustainable approach and design trends.
Ooh this is awesome. Thank you for sharing!
deep and dope!
Happy Earth Day 🌏💚
Hey Sloan,
How do you stay updated on the climate change news? Go to different sources to read some articles?
Don't worry, I got your back. 🤘
Recently, I made this small web app that can get you all the news for climate change from all the sources. 👌 Oh! if you're too busy with work at DEV, you can save those articles too. 😉

How can DEV Community contribute?
Well, I am looking for a new job 😁 Maybe, you can refer me lol 😂
Me getting a good job = more time for OSS projects
This isn't an open source project (though they do discuss how it's built with OSS software), but I've always found this solar powered website to be a pretty cool proof-of-concept:

Some of the techniques are a little over the top in my opinion (like dithered images), but I appreciate the mindset and for this particular site they suit its aesthetic.
I just joined this awesome project called CASSIE.
It's an open-source web tool for automatic shoreline mapping and analysis using satellite imagery.

Bloom was a great effort for more transparent carbon footprint calculation. Unfortunately, I just discovered that the repository was archived.
I build a transparency-first carbon-footprint calculator
github.com/JarnoRFB/planted-co2-ca... on top of it. For now some values apply only to Germany, but I want to include data for other countries in the future. Let's continue to make carbon footprint estimation for transparent together in the open source community.
