My blog is carbon neutral

And yours can be too!

“My blog is carbon neutral” is an initiative started in Germany to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Those in charge of the initiative plant a tree for your blog, neutralizing your blog’s carbon footprint for the next 50 years.

They've done the calculations to determine that planting one tree will neutralize the carbon footprint of a blog with an average of 15,000 visitors a month. The carbon dioxide emissions can mainly be tracked back to the immense energy usage from computers, servers and their cooling systems. The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) assumes a yearly absorption of one tree of approximately 10kg (20lb.) carbon dioxide emissions. The "My blog is carbon neutral" initiative is using a very conservative yearly absorption value of 5kg (11 lb.) for its “My blog is carbon neutral” initiative to ensure that the neutralization of each blog is achieved.



If you have a blog, make it carbon neutral! It's quick, easy and free.
