specification.**\n\nTo see the most recently published carbon.txt syntax visit [https://carbontxt.org/](https://carbontxt.org/).\n\nIf you would like to collaborate with us on improving this syntax, this is the place for you! Head to [this repo's issues section](https://github.com/thegreenwebfoundation/carbon.txt/issues) to share your ideas.\n\nIf you've come here looking for something else, hop to the \"[I came looking for](#looking-for)\" section.\n\n\n\n## Overview - what is the carbon.txt project?\n\ncarbon.txt makes sustainability data easier to discover and use on the web. Carbon.txt is a single place to look on any domain – */carbon.txt* – for public, machine-readable, sustainability data relating to that company.\n\nIt’s a web-first, connect not collect style approach, of most benefit to those interested in scraping the structured data companies have to publish according to national laws. Designed to be extended by default, we see carbon.txt becoming essential infrastructure for sustainability data services crunching available numbers and sharing the stories it can tell.\n\n[Visit the Green Web Foundation website for a full overview](https://www.thegreenwebfoundation.org/tools/carbon-txt/).\n\n\u003ca id=\"looking-for\"\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\n## I came looking for...\n\n### An overview of the carbon.txt project \n[See the Green Web Foundation website](https://www.thegreenwebfoundation.org/tools/carbon-txt/).\n\n\u003ca id=\"docs\"\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\n### Technical documentation\nThere are a number of places where we hold technical documentation for this project. The best starting point to find what you're looking for is on [https://carbontxt.org/](https://carbontxt.org/).\n\nThe [issues sections](#issues) of our main github repos is also a great source of help. You might find someone has already asked for help on the same issue and you’ll find an answer. We appreciate those that take the time to create public issues for this reason, it may help someone who encounters something similar after you.\n\n\u003ca id=\"issues\"\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\n### A place to raise a technical issue with the project\n\nTechnical issues can cover a broad range of things. We take this to mean:\n\n- Reporting a bug or something not working as you expect.\n- Suggesting a new feature or improvement that could be made.\n\nOur project GitHub repos are generally the best place to raise technical issues like these. We have a number of repos that cover different aspects of our project. Here’s a summary of those and a link to the relevant issues part of that repo:\n\nUsing the carbon.txt validator tools on our public website - https://github.com/thegreenwebfoundation/carbon-txt-site/issues\n\nExtending the carbon.txt approach such as running your own validator service or creating plugins - https://github.com/thegreenwebfoundation/carbon-txt-validator/issues\n\nDeveloping the carbon.txt syntax and specification (this repository) - https://github.com/thegreenwebfoundation/carbon.txt/issues\n\nIf you are unsure of the best repo for your issue, please just make your best guess. We'll move it if we think it necessary.\n\n### Answers to questions\nIf you need help with a specific technical issue, our [technical documentation](#docs) is there to help.
