What it means to be Green.
It took mankind half of forever to conclude that we were well out of step with the rhythm of nature. Big money and corporate controllers have been in charge of our direction long enough to show us that greed is their only motivation. It may work for them, but the payoff for the remaining 97% of us isn’t so great.
More people then ever are waking up and seeing a broken system that is unsustainable for future generations and they are setting out to implement real changes. Not just political rhetoric, but different ways to interact with the earth that are more organic and natural.
Small changes Matter!
Whether it’s buying locally grown vegetables or throwing a few solar panels up on your roof, it’s making a difference. Even just paying more attention to the garbage you throw away (like asking “where does that go to next?”) is giving focus to something usually taken for granted.
Warning: opening up your thought patterns can lead to deeper thinking – can YOUR brain handle it?
Life is the greatest gift imaginable, it’s our job to remember that every day. Okay, maybe not every day, but most of them certainly. Good stewardship of the earth is like giving a big bear hug to a whole future generation!
What’s that got to Do with Green Hosting?
Data centers take 4% of the world’s electricity, so it’s very reasonable to ask yourself where the electricity comes from when considering a host.
Us? NerdAtom.com is under the power of Aeolus King of winds (it’s a handshake agreement though, no contracts). He turns windmills we get the electricity and we let him plug in his prius for free on the weekends, everybody wins.
Oh we’ve also converted our server’s hardware to use 43% less electricity.
NerdAtom.com is carbon neutral, which means we do not emit any carbon that we do not clean up. Only 3% of hosting companies are currently green, why not join us and help set the trend!
