Browsing the internet & carbon offset
There’s a number of things we do every day that are sources of higher greenhouse gas emissions without us even realizing it. One of them is browsing the internet.
The energy needed to run all our digital devices provides the Earth with even more greenhouse emissions.
The impact of using the internet may well be less damaging than replacing it with more traditional activities (e.g. sending letters instead of emails, travelling with a plane/bus/car instead of a Zoom call, renting a DVD instead of streaming, etc.) but that doesn’t mean that it’s absolutely harmless to the environment.
Because of the global COVID-19 pandemic, humanity spends more time at home and consequently uses the internet more.
The amount of electricity produced by the internet adds up to the carbon offset and consequently – to global warming.
That’s why the efforts of our team are focused on this specific part of pollution and we’re looking forward to making a difference with the help of our users.
