Really Natural is Now Carbon Offsetting Site Visitors!


multicolorpro.pngIt has been the practice of Really Natural to carbon offset the server for this site, as well as all Blopire sites. Now, we are also offsetting the carbon created by our site visitors. Using the service CO2Stats, we are measuring total visitor electricity use and offsetting emissions. So far this month for Really Natural, our server footprint is 4.3204 lbs CO2 (31.1088 kWh), and our client footprint is 0.4378 lbs CO2 (4.0473 kWh).

CO2Stats was started by Tim Sullivan and Alex Wissner-Gross, PhD students at Yale and Harvard respectfully. Sullivan explains:

Most internet users are unaware of its environmental impact. To solve this problem, we created CO2Stats, the first-ever tool that allows bloggers and webmasters all over the world to monitor the carbon footprints of individual web sites internationally. Our ultimate vision is to make the entire internet carbon-neutral. Our ultimate vision is to make the entire internet carbon-neutral.

We too share that vision!

Happy Earth Day!

320px-Earth_flag_PD.jpg
Happy Earth Day, everyone, from all of us here at Really Natural.

Yep. We know we're a day late. We love you, but preferred to spend our Earth Day, well, outside enjoying it. We celebrated by taking a walk with friends, having dinner with family -- oh, and taking a quick trip to Home Depot to pick up our free compact fluorescent light bulb. (Russ used it to replace the bulb in our laundry closet -- perfect!)

It's pretty cool to see the attention that Earth Day is getting this year. Treehugger has been asking if recycling has jumped the shark, but our feeling is, the more folks who pay attention to reducing, reusing and yes, recycling, the better. Sure, we'd love to see a world where everyone's goal was no waste instead of less waste. But in the meantime, it feels good to know that folks are waking up to that fact that this Earth -- not to mention the condition in which we leave it to our kids and our kids' kids -- is our responsibility.

Let's hope all the attention translates to more than lip service. We wish you an excellent year!
