How your web site is ‘doing good’

1) Reduction of Greenhouse Gases
The machines that develop a website and host a website can require a tremendous amount of non-renewable energy. This non-renewable energy requires the burning of fossil fuels like oil, coal, and gas, that emit greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere. Scientific analysis has shown the impact from this burning, emissions of greenhouse gasses, increases the temperature of the planet and has dramatic consequences. As a result Organic Thought has taken the initiative to off set the carbon emissions of websites developed for all clients. Gold certified credits are purchased from a renewable energy source to inject the same amount of energy that is required to develop and host a web site into the power grid. This energy source, a wind farm for example, requires no burning of fossil fuels emits almost no greenhouse gasses and does not contribute to the controversial issue of climate change.

2) Promotion of renewable energies and energy efficient technologies.
By choosing to use sustainable energy for web site solutions, clients create a greater demand for renewable energy which results in overall cheaper cost and a greater supply/availabilty of sustainable energy. The step also applies more pressure on the industry to meet sustainable standards and allows businesses and organizations to promote more sustainable web solutions.

3) Positive contribution to sustainable development in the region
The use of green energy through Organic Thought carbon credits requires renewable energy to be produced by developing communities. The production of this renewable energy in these communities creates sustainable development in the region, creating jobs for families and individuals, and improves the communities living conditions.
