One area we can do this is by migrating to a more eco-friendly web hosting set-up, so we are now using 100% carbon-neutral data centres to host our websites and email for both ourselves and our clients.
Data centres worldwide are expected to generate 533 million tonnes of CO2 by 2020
At first glance, this might seem a small change, however, according to the Carbon Trust, data centres worldwide are expected to generate 533 million tonnes of CO2 by 2020, that’s roughly the equivalent of airline industry! So their impact is huge. You can rest assured though, if you host with POP, you won’t be contributing to this figure.
