Vibe code with your voice
Vibe code by voice. Wispr Flow lets you dictate prompts, PRDs, bug reproductions, and code review notes directly in Cursor, Warp, or your editor of choice. Speak instructions and Flow will auto-tag file names, preserve variable names and inline identifiers, and format lists and steps for immediate pasting into GitHub, Jira, or Docs. That means less retyping, fewer copy and paste errors, and faster triage. Use voice to dictate prompts and directions inside Cursor or Warp and get developer-ready text with file name recognition and variable recognition built in. For deeper context and examples, see our Vibe Coding article on wisprflow.ai. Try Wispr Flow for engineers.

Founder’s Note
Harsha Saxena
As technology races ahead, sustainability cannot afford to lag behind. This edition of IICSR Sustainability Express asks an uncomfortable but necessary question: are our digital futures aligned with our real-world responsibilities? From the hidden carbon cost of the metaverse to the growing scrutiny of ESG by investors, the lines between innovation, impact, and accountability are blurring fast. We also spotlight global dialogues on business, human rights, and Net Zero leadership—because sustainability today demands action, not aesthetics.
As we prepare for the International Net Zero Summit 2026, I invite you to read, reflect, and engage—because the future we build, virtual or otherwise, must be responsible by design.

Is the Metaverse Sustainable? What ESG Says

The metaverse may be virtual, but its environmental and social footprint is very real. This blog explores the hidden energy intensity behind avatars, VR, and data centers, questioning whether the next digital frontier is aligned with ESG principles or heading toward an unsustainable future.
It examines the risk of widening digital divides, the rise of ESG scrutiny from investors, and promising examples like greener blockchain models that show change is possible. As billions flow into virtual worlds, this piece urges leaders, investors, and users to ask harder questions about impact, inclusion, and accountability—because the metaverse’s footprint will shape the real world we live in.

It’s funny because it mocks how people try to escape real-world climate problems by upgrading to a “green” virtual life, instead of fixing the mess outside the headset. The contrast between polluted reality and a pixel-perfect paradise exposes the absurdity of calling something sustainable just because it looks green.
