Thank you! I've sent you a DM on Slack.

Question 3 of the form says "To which teams are you interested in contributing? (check all that apply)" indicating people should be able to select multiple items, but the items are configured with radio buttons rather than checkboxes.

@DeclanChidlow done

Hey, looks like I missed the call for contributors but I have something I think is very important to add around measurement and how the SCI (Software Carbon Intensity, ISO 21031) applies to web. Is it possible that I write up a few paragraphs for consideration as a contribution?

[tunetheweb]

Wouldn’t that be something for the Sustainability chapter to consider? If so suggest you make that comment on that issue and/or join that team.

@anewmandev Can you join slack so we can discuss that on the sustainability channel?
