Mari’s Host is Green
But what does it mean?… It means a few things, actually!
It means we’ve calculated our carbon footprint. Our footprint represents the impact of everything that DreamHost uses and leaves behind in the course of our daily work. All of the resources that we use - paper in the office, electricity for our 1300+ servers, even the gas in our cars that bring us to the office - leaves behind some kind of soul-sucking residue in the world.
Basically, they figured out how much they ruin the planet and donated to charities that help to make the planet green to right it, as well as reducing their emissions by using more power-efficient servers and biodegradable coffee cups and such. It’s not the same as being eco-nuts that live in huts in the woods, but it helps.
In any case, if you like this planet and want to continue to live on it, you could go with Dreamhost to improve your chances of surviving. Mari jokes a little, but scientists don’t. Global warming is deadly.
Happy Earth Day tomorrow, everybody!
