Free Carbon Offsets For Your Website

Submitted by Mike on Wednesday, May 28, 2008No Comment

If you keep any kind of website or blog, here is a simple way you can help by offsetting your carbon footprint.

CO2Stats monitors the usage of your web site’s server and based on its location, and the locations of your visitors they estimate the carbon footprint and then purchase Renewable Energy Certificates equal to the amount your site uses. The certificates help fund solar and wind electrical generation. 

Setting this up on your site is very simple. Just visit CO2Stats, copy a very short script, and include it on your site. That’s all there is to it. You can opt to use a paid version also which will provide some detailed stats, but the free option is great start. 

You can see how much EasyGreensy has offset since I included the script here just the other day on the lower left sidebar.
