# FAQ

## Motivation&#x20;

To help organizations reduce carbon footprint.

## Why Not AWS Trusted Advisor

* It's a great tool but I felt it is somewhat biased and falls short in various aspects like it will never recommend you to switch to m6g instances or t3a instances
* Also its paid!

## Is it safe to use GreenBot

* GreenBot does not modify any AWS resource in your account, only AWS read API is used.
* Permission for all rules are listed explicitly&#x20;
* Open-source!
