We measure
We report our servers and staff to BEF to calculate annual energy consumption and carbon footprint.
Eco Friendly Website
Environmentally friendly hosting.
The internet has a real carbon footprint. At ENKO WebStudio we offset the energy of our infrastructure and plant a tree for every hosting account.
The internet and its environmental impact
The cloud pollutes too.
Data centers keep millions of servers running around the clock, and most of that electricity still comes from carbon-emitting sources.
40%
of the energy that powers the internet is used just to cool the servers.
16×
growth in the number of data centers in seven years: from 500,000 in 2012 to more than 8 million.
2%
of the world's carbon emissions now come from data centers, as much as the airline industry.
14%
of global emissions could come from them by 2040, a figure comparable to that of the United States.
The internet is the fastest-growing carbon-emitting industry.
Our commitment
We offset three times the energy we consume.
Our connectivity provider works with the Bonneville Environmental Foundation (BEF), a Green-e partner based in Portland, Oregon.
We offset ×3
BEF purchases Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) for three times the calculated consumption and returns them to the grid.
We reforest
For every hosting account we plant a tree through One Tree Planted.
