How are we ‘Green’?
I have decided to make Daily Cup of Yoga a ‘Green‘ website by having it hosted on green servers by a company with green values. 100% green renewable energy is used to power parts of the Just Host data center, web servers, and office space. The server Daily Cup of Yoga is hosted on is a ‘Green‘ energy efficient server, which means it produces 20% less CO2 than the average server. Being Just Host ‘Green‘ eCertified means Daily Cup of Yoga has contributed to Just Host’s tree planting project, which aims to neutralize our (and your) affects on the environment. Just Host employs ‘Green‘ ethics throughout their workplace and data centers. Just Host invests in and promotes a green way of living for its staff by offering advanced recycling techniques. As well as the standard paper and cardboard recycling, Just Host goes a step further so everything from the batteries they use to power wireless mice to the printer ink cartridges get recycled. Just Host also incentivizes vehicle sharing to cut carbon emissions.
Why Go Green?
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. That’s in addition to the data center where the server is located which consumes on average as much electricity as 30,000 households.
To put it another way… the typical website is hosted on a server which on average produces around 12½ tons of CO2 each year. That is a huge amount of CO2!
Compare that to your computer, which produces half a ton, your car, 5 tons, AND your home, 6½ tons. THIS MEANS on average EACH PERSON IS responsible for 12 tonnes of the CO2 that is produced each year! THAT is a huge amount of CO2 AND SHOWS WHY we are so insistent in our beliefs IN GREEN HOSTING.
