The global carbon footprint of the world wide web is calculated
to exceed that of the aviation sector. It's good to know therefore
that our website hosting provider, Cloudabove, based in Cornwall, is powered
by renewable energy.
Here's what the company has told us:
'The digital world has an enormous impact on our world and at
cloudabove we are conscious of the impact that providing our
hosting services has. That's why we've taken measures to ensure
this impact is absolutely minimised.
Your hosting is powered by renewable
energy
Our office in Cornwall and our two main data centres in London
and Manchester are powered by 100% renewable energy from the folks
at Ecotricity and follow
the EU Code of Conduct for
Data Centres which focuses on energy efficient design &
operation.
A tree for you and every order from now
on
We've partnered with Offset Earth to
help us continue reducing our impact on the environment and to kick
start our contribution, we've planted a tree for every single
customer. Your tree is being planted in Madagascar to be
precise!
Going forward, we'll be planting up to twenty trees
for every domain or hosting order, as well as contributing to other
ecological and humanitarian projects. You can keep an eye on our
stats and learn more about the brilliant people at Offset Earth on our
profile page.'
It all helps.
