CO2 Stats is an easy-to-use service that makes your website carbon neutral and provides “Green Site Certification” to prove that you have taken steps to offset its carbon emissions. Websites have carbon footprints because electricity is required to power the servers that host the site, the computers used to view it and the global networks that connect them. Much of that electricity is created from burning fossil fuels, like coal, oil and natural gas, all of which emit carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. Studies suggest that the global carbon emissions due to information and communications technology are greater than those of the entire aviation industry. In fact, info-tech as a whole may contribute to 2% of worldwide carbon emissions.
CO2 Stats automatically calculates your websites total energy consumption, helps to make it more energy efficient and then purchases audited renewable energy from wind and solar farms to neutralize its carbon footprint.
