Welcome to Sustain WP, a limited podcast series about digital sustainability and WordPress. I'm your host Nahuai Badiola and in this episode I will be talking about how the sustainability initiative was created and then become into an official team.

In the episode 1, I talked briefly about it with Hannah Hannah but in this episode I wanted to look back to the process of how we arrived to have an official WordPress Sustainability Team, what we have done so far and what are we planning to do.

For that I'm joined by Nora Ferreirós, Thijs Buijs and Csaba Varszegi which have been behind the WordPress Sustainability initiative from the beginning.

Some of the points we talked about are:
