The green hositng badge is given to every client, from freelancers to corporate giants, who transfer their current hosting to Carbon Free Hosting. The data centre that is housing and powering our servers have been awarded a certificate by the US Green Building Council - the Nations foremost coalition of leaders working to transform the way buildings and communities are designed. Built and operated, enabling and environmentally and socially responsible, healthy and prosperous environment that improves the quality of life. Also accredited by the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) with the following statistics.

Every year the Data Center's Solar Panels will eliminate:

34,488 lbs of Carbon Dioxide (CO2/GHG)

50.6 lbs of Nitrogen Oxide (NOX/Smog)

37.4 lbs of Sulfate (SO4/Acid Rain)

To put that into perspective, that is the equivalent of planting 8 acres of trees each year. To further our commitment to helping the rain forest, we are aiding the 'Our World, Our Choice' cause. This project aims to protect 100,000 acres by 2015.

Our World, Our Choice

Protecting 100,000 acres of Rainforest by 2015

New York’s Central Park is one of the world’s most popular tourist destinations, attracting 25 million visitors every single year. At 843 acres the park covers 6% of Manhattans total area and contains 26,000 trees, 9,000 benches and 58 miles of pedestrian pathways. It is huge!

Now picture an area that is 120 times the size of Central Park or a car park that is large enough to park 20 million cars. That is exactly what we have done at Ibex Earth – only that we will be looking to fund the purchase and conservation of 100,000 acres of rainforest by the end of 2015 in a campaign called ‘Our World: Our Choice’.

To achieve this ambitious goal we will be working in collaboration with the World Land Trust, an international conservation charity that has been saving wildlife and endangered habitat, acre by acre, since 1989. For more information about the World Land Trust.

The Green Leaf Badge also makes a poignant statement to your clients. By proudly exhibiting your Carbon Free status, you are dramatically improving your brand identity. The marketing potential is clear (see Company Benefits for more details) but with a Green Leaf Badge you also become an immediate Green Leaf affiliate and are inducted to our Green Leaf Hosting 5/5 Campaign.

The Green Leaf Hosting 5/5 Campaign is an incentive to encourage more companies to go Carbon Free. The Green Leaf badge on your Website acts as a link to the Green Leaf Hosting website. For every company that signs up to Green Leaf Hosting via your badge you will receive £5 and an additional £5 will be donated to a Green Campaign - Our World, Our Choice. On top of going Carbon Free with Green Leaf, money will be donated to a worthy cause to further help our environmental green mission.

The Green Leaf Hosting Badge can also be inserted into your emails. With a proclamation that the email 'Hasn't Cost the Earth' and is completely carbon free. This further shows your clients that your company is Carbon Free and environmentally aware.
