Environmentally Conscious

Why we do this

Besides the obvious environmental benefits, we do this because it makes good economic sense. We consume less and thus retain more earnings. The way it's supposed to be.

In order to pursue our commitment, we seek out relationships with suppliers who also share the commitment to using progressive, intelligent, environmentally responsible business practices. We are happy to offer our clients green hosting from 1&1.

We use “green” hosting

Our Web hosting provider 1&1 has partnered with the Bonneville Environmental Foundation (BEF) to offset 100% of the energy usage of their data center in Lenexa, Kansas by purchasing Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs). The majority of the RECs will be sourced from the Bowersock Mills and Power Company's hydroelectric facility in Lawrence, Kansas. This hydroelectric facility is certified low impact by the Low Impact Hydro Institute (LIHI).

1&1’s renewable energy purchase for the facility is enough clean energy to power at least 300 U.S. homes for one year. 1&1 and BEF work in tandem with Green-e, the nation's leading voluntary certification program for renewable energy, to power their data center with clean, renewable energy. Green-e certifies renewable energy that meets environmental and consumer protection standards that it developed in conjunction with leading environmental, energy and policy organizations.

Alternative energy

Wind turbine generators are much less harmful to the environment than burning fossil fuels. The local wind farm on the San Gorgonio Mountain Pass contains more than 4000 separate windmills and provides enough electricity to power Palm Springs and the entire Coachella Valley.
