ThoseinMedia.com is now CO2 neutral

February 7, 2010 in Programs, System Message by Brent Willen

This is a good idea for your website – and for the climate!

The use of the internet today is estimated to cause more carbon emissions than airfreight! This is due to the high energy consumption from servers behind websites and computers, monitors etc. at visitors.

When electricity is consumed, carbon (CO2) is emitted. This is because the production of electricity is partly based on fossil fuels, for instance coal.

This is why ThoseinMedia.com has now joined the voluntary initiative, “CO2neutralwebsite.com”. This initiative has mapped these emissions and made a CO2 neutralization program that enables participating companies to go carbon neutral with their website. The result is climate friendly surfing for the users of the website – and the company gets a good profile that is far bigger than the cost of joining.

-       All participants can use the CO2 neutral icon on their website (this is very good branding)

-       Links are created to all participants from network of sites in CO2neutralwebsites.com (this can increase your traffic and is good for search engine optimization)

-       Good climate impact

Normally the cost of participating is 19 Euros or 28 USD per month which is a good business opportunity  – as well as a good climate contribution.

Please find further information regarding the CO2 initiative at the official website.

Both large and small companies from many different countries participate in the initiative. In total more than 700 companies have joined.
