The Acailawen Designs Website Has Gone Carbon Neutral!

Thu, 5th August, 2010 - Posted by Andrea Acailawen - (0) Comment

As part of our ongoing commitment to operating as an eco-friendly, green designer label, we’ve taken the Acailawen Designs website carbon neutral! You will now see “green website” verification buttons on pages across the website. The CO2 emissions produced by the operation of this website are now being monitored with the help of a great new carbon monitoring widget from greenweb.org. After all, a website is an important aspect of any business and its footprint should not be overlooked. Now, with website CO2 monitoring, it is easier than ever to calculate monthly website emissions, so that they can be directly neutralized.

So, how does this work? Greenweb’s widget calculates not only the energy used by the web server hosting the website, but it also takes the energy usage of each website visitor into account. It determines the location of each website visitor, the time each visitor spends on site and the energy used to power the visitor’s computer during each site visit. It then calculates the total CO2 emissions produced through the website’s operation over the course of a month, so that these emissions can be regularly offset. More information on website CO2 monitoring and neutralization can be found on the greenweb.org website.

So now, in addition to all of Acailawen Designs’ other environmentally responsible studio and business practices, all of its website related C02 emissions are being offset on a monthly basis through carbon offset earning programs and other activities that have a positive environmental impact. Monthly offsets exceed Acailawen Designs’ carbon footprint, including all website related emissions! More details can be obtained on the website’s green website certificate or by contacting us through the website or on one of our our Facebook pages.

Additionally, this site also now hosts a Social Vibe activity widget that allows site visitors to offset even more CO2 emissions while visiting the site! You can help us fight climate change, right here in The Buzz. It couldn’t get any easier!
