Caching data based on greenhouse gas data

A method, executable by a device, comprising:

• receiving a first set of data and a first greenhouse gas emission value associated with the first set of data, wherein the first greenhouse gas emission value indicates a first amount of greenhouse gas emitted to produce the first set of data;
• storing, in a cache of the device, the first set of data and the first greenhouse gas emission value;
• receiving a second set of data and a second greenhouse gas emission value associated with the second set of data, wherein the second greenhouse gas emission value indicates a second amount of greenhouse gas emitted to produce the second set of data;
• storing, in the cache of the device, the second set of data and the second greenhouse gas emission value;
• receiving a third set of data and a third greenhouse gas emission value associated with the third set of data, wherein the third greenhouse gas emission value indicates a third amount of greenhouse gas emitted to produce the third set of data;
• determining one of the first and second sets of data to remove from the cache of the device based on the first greenhouse gas emission value and the second greenhouse gas emission value;
• and
• replacing, in the cache of the device, the one of the first and second sets of data and the corresponding first or second greenhouse gas emission value with the third set of data and the third greenhouse gas emission value.

A system comprising:

• a set of processing units;
• and
• a non-transitory machine-readable medium storing instructions that when executed by at least one processing unit in the set of processing units cause the at least one processing unit to:
• receive a first set of data and a first greenhouse gas emission value associated with the first set of data, wherein the first greenhouse gas emission value indicates a first amount of greenhouse gas emitted to produce the first set of data;
• store, in a cache of the system, the first set of data and the first greenhouse gas emission value;
• receive a second set of data and a second greenhouse gas emission value associated with the second set of data, wherein the second greenhouse gas emission value indicates a second amount of greenhouse gas emitted to produce the second set of data;
• store, in the cache of the system, the second set of data and the second greenhouse gas emission value;
• receive a third set of data and a third greenhouse gas emission value associated with the third set of data, wherein the third greenhouse gas emission value indicates a third amount of greenhouse gas emitted to produce the third set of data;
• determine one of the first and second sets of data to remove from the cache of the system based on the first greenhouse gas emission value and the second greenhouse gas emission value;
• and
• replace, in the cache of the system, the one of the first and second sets of data and the corresponding first or second greenhouse gas emission value with the third set of data and the third greenhouse gas emission value.
