Your Company’s Website
Did you know that your company’s website is contributing to one of the major carbon emission problems today? The Internet is growing at a prolific rate, doubling in size in the U.S alone this year.

By 2020 the web is likely to cause more pollution than the aviation industry. In fact, in just 2 years (2011), 3% of the total energy usage will come from data centres.

A large data centre consumes the same amount of power as 30,000
