  "summary": "Sustainable coding for students aims to introduce young programmers to the relationship between software design, computing resources, and environmental responsibility. By encouraging students to consider how efficiently software performs its task, this approach can help reduce unnecessary resource consumption and, consequently, the environmental impact of technology. While the impact of sustainable coding depends on the specific program, hardware, and usage frequency, it is an essential perspective for students to develop as they enter the tech industry.",
