Why Join Us?
In a world that’s always online, the Internet is now a bigger polluter than both cars and aviation. If it were a country, the Internet would be the 6th largest emitter of carbon globally.
- 5 tonnes – The average website’s carbon emissions per year.
- 19 million litres – A typical data centre can use between 11 and 19 million litres of water per day.
Every website, search, and server consumes energy. Every time we click or tap a link, we contribute to pollution. By leading the charge in green websites, we can drastically reduce carbon emissions and protect our planet.
