Green Online

Have you ever thought of how much emissions your online presence is contributing to the total climate impact on our environment?

You may not know this but the IT sector has a huge climate impact. Think of all the servers that’s running 24/7 around the world to support our business, habits, and needs. I often wonder about this and how I am contributing to this huge problem.

While we can’t stop doing business online, we can at least look for ways to greening our online activities. Hostgator is one of the few IT businesses that is using renewable energy to both power and cool their servers. What they have done is quite impressive and I hope to see more IT businesses following their lead.

If you operate an online business or thinking of starting one, do the right thing and switch to an eco-friendly hosting companies. You will be glad you did!
