The world’s data centers are projected to surpass the airline industry as a greenhouse gas polluter by 2020, according to a new study by McKinsey & Co. - NY TimesMy Computer Chick has gone GREEN!
Why we did it...How we did it...
What you can do...
Why it matters!
Our servers are located in a green data center and we offset 150% of our energy usage with Certified Wind Power. One of the few green hosts to offer high availability failover hosting.
Did you know that the average server produces the same emissions as a 15 mile per gallon (mpg) sports utility vehicle (SUV)?
My Computer Chick hosts over 10,000 websites on their web hosting servers. That means a lot of servers, and a lot of carbon emissions. So we asked ourselves, "What can we do to be part of the climate change solution?" We took steps to minimize our environmental impact at the office by switching to 45% more efficient servers. All of our servers are now 150% wind powered!
We're not just neutralizing our environmental impact, we're reversing it! My Computer Chick has purchased certified Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) representing 150% of the electricity used to both power and cool every last one of our servers.
Just how big a dent in climate change does that make?
It's the equivalent of:
- Removing 513 cars from the road for a year, or
- Powering 371 homes with clean energy for a year, or
- Saving 6,648 barrels of oil, or
- Protecting 636 acres of forest for a year.
