At Doteasy we have a commitment to renewable energy and offset far more carbon than we produce.
Doteasy green web hosting
OUR GREEN COMMITMENT
Renewable energy
At Doteasy we are almost certain that every single server we provision is powered entirely by renewable energy. We therefore take an extremely proactive approach to ensuring every Doteasy service is carbon neutral. We calculate our entire energy usage, regardless of source, and offset it twice over. In effect, this means that we are offsetting renewable energy, as if it were actually non-renewable -- twice! This includes web server power consumption, as well as staff consumption and commute estimations.
HOW WE OFFSET
We will plant 2,000+ trees every year
We plant a tree for every 10 websites hosted with us. By our calculation, this offsets our carbon footprint between two and four times over. We offset all of our usage irrespective of the source.
In our calculations, we convert the average power usage of each of our servers in Watts to kWH and then to CO2 released based on Greenhouse gas reporting: conversion factors from the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy. The conversion factor they give is 0.28307 kg CO2 for each kWh produced. This is based on the emissions generated by the current UK power stations per kWh generated.
We undertake tree planting projects in our office locations, and also through partner organisations and charities, the largest being Ecologi (formerly known as Offset.earth), who provide verifiable figures and information relating to their tree planting projects. You can find out more about our Ecologi contributions here.
