Internet - green action #2

Hi!


A week has passed so time for green action2: internet


But first a follow up on the last post: unfortunately my roof is too small for the solar panels, but I do now have green energy of a power plant that only uses durable green sources to get their green energy and gas. 


So action 1 is completed, time for action 2; the internet.


Why? Internet is a climat killer...
"Internet provides us the luxury of unprecedented digital connection, but at the same time the amount of energy needed to keep millions of websites, servers and data centres up and running is enormous. Many people do not realise that the internet has become one of today’s major polluters, already responsible for as much CO2 emission as the entire aviation industry. And with the continued demand on our internet infrastructure the problem is not going to get easier." (from: cleanbits)
But as a true digital girl, I use the internet a lot; privately and of course for my business:  surfing, browsing, using social media and showing my website.
So how to get that green?

Green action 2.1. browse green:
You can search the internet while saving the rainforest by using Ecosia.

Why browse green?
To cut down on CO2 emissions.
The profits Yahoo and Bing gain from advertisements are now used to do something back for the environment: Ecosia!

How does this help?
Ecosia donates 80% of it's revenue to a rainforest project run by the WWF, so by searching you are saving the lungs of our planet.

Here's a video that explains more:
