Environmentally Guided Hosting and Servers
Since 2003 we have been taking responsibility for our effects on the environment and society.
We travel to our solar-powered offices on public transport, and we plant trees to assist the offset of our CO2 emissions by “sequestration” or “Carbon Fix”.
We offer Carbon offset, Solar Powered and Hydro Geothermal Powered Shared Web Hosting, Dedicated / Hybrid and VPS server options.
Our Vision and Mission?
Sustainability is key:
(Not only being “Carbon Neutral”)
We were the UK’s first ISP to take this issue seriously.
Sustainable Development and Business “meets the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs”
CO2 Offset GreenWebHost.net Hosting: (based in UK)
Photosynthesis? “Sequestration” or “Carbon Fix”
It is the conversion/absorption of carbon dioxide and water into a sugar called glucose using sunlight energy.
Oxygen is produced as a waste product.
Chlorophyll is the “green” chemical needed by plants for this process, CO2 is absorbed to help the tree grow.
SOLAR POWERED WEB HOSTING SYSTEMS:
Via solarwebhost.net (data centre based in the US)
The data centre we utilize for this option is in California east of Los Angeles.
The data centre is powered by 120 solar panels which generate all the electricity. The Solar is owned and operated by the Data centre to power California’s first and only solar-powered hosting company. (please be aware that there is a 10-hour time difference so set-up times are longer).
OUR MISSION
Key Promises:
Sustainable development.
Solar (PV) powered offices.
Help to offset our calculated CO2 by planting trees (sequestration).
Low energy equipment where practicable.
Virtually paperless offices.
Equipment recycling schemes.
Invest in and support environmental ideas
We do not only aim to service, but inspire !
We “assist” in the offset of all of our estimated 25 Tonnes per year of CO2 (by “sequestration” or “Carbon Fix”) by working with TreeSponsibility, a community based Climate Action Group, we also plant a tree for every new Broadband and Web Hosting customer, in effect becoming “carbon positive”, we solar power our offices and operate within our environmental and ethical policy (we have been doing this since October 2003).
We aim to support businesses, charities, community projects and non-profit-making organizations with similar aims and objectives.
You use our hosting we plant a Tree and you get a personalized Planting certificate and are safe in the knowledge that our offices are Solar Powered too, all other electricity is supplied by Good Energy
…………………………………………………………………….
Green ISP / Green WebHost did not and does not wait until ISO’s and BSI Standards are introduced or legislation passed to force us to be Environmentally and Ethically aware, pro-active and committed, we have been doing it Voluntarily since 2003, no other Hosting company or ISP we know of can claim that fact? If you know of one please let us know.
We work alongside other Organisations and Individuals who do the same.
We have been leading this philosophy.
This is one of the things we have been aware of since 2003
