Don’t get me wrong, there are plenty of good reasons to do lighter websites. Environmental impact is not one of them. Either your electricity usage emits CO2, in which case you have more urgent things to do, or your electricity does not, and you don’t care about the additional microwatthour loading a js library took.
Then making it light makes sense because some of these visitors will have slow computers and expensive bandwidth. (And probably a much bigger co2 impact per site visited but I have the weakness to think that knowledge is worth it)
