Is Your Website Causing Harm to Mother Earth?

Imagine your website 24 hours live on internet, 365 days a year never shut down.. how many Tonnes of CO2 each year has been created?

Do you aware that if you are hosting your website on a server which on average produces around 12½ Tonnes of CO2 each year, that is a huge amount of CO2! Definitely it is causing harm to the environment in certain degree!

As a Lightworker, our job is not  just sending light to people or places, we should love our environment and mother earth too.

I feel that, if we have a website, or going to host a website, we should choose a web hosting company that practicing green ethics.

How to define whether it is green hosting?

1. A green servers have the capabilities on saving electricity and use energy efficiently to ensuring power consumption is kept to a minimal. it also mean produce less CO2 than the average server.

2. The Hosting Company support carbon neutral project, servers are powered by wind or Solar.

3. The Hosting Provider practicing Green Ethics, means they are supporting the environment by planting trees and helping on neutralize CO2 affects on the environment.

“Very few people realize the true impact the web hosting industry has on the environment, the average server produces the same emissions as a 15 mpg SUV let alone the data centre where the server is located which consumes on average as much electricity as 30,000 households.”
