Are you meeting the aspirations of those who use your site from a sustainability and environmental point of view? How green is your Website?
It’s True; websites do have a carbon footprint. The internet reportedly consumes some 416 Tera Watt Hours a year of electricity. That’s enough to power almost the whole of the UK.
From Data centres to transmission networks to the billions of connected devices we use daily. It all consumes electricity which in turn produces carbon emission levels that are reputed to be on a par with the global aviation industry. Wow!
Now the first company to develop the methodology for calculating carbon emissions and how they attribute to a website; is offering a FREE website carbon calculator. Designed to raise awareness and help create a more sustainable internet – Designed by Wholegrain Digital Ltd. Simply type in your URL to get some instant findings. In some instances, it might mean simply changing your service host where your website resides. In others, it might mean rebuilding your site in a more enlightened manner. One thing is for sure more and more of your customers will be taking a view.
