Whilst we love the idea of more trees being planted, we do not really think that it is a viable alternative to not producing the carbon in the first place, (although we are aware that carbon is produced in the manufacture of photovoltaic cells.)

If the servers required to run Ethicalbiz were powered in the conventional manner, it would be equivalent to leaving a 500 watt halogen security light switched on 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

We use Ecological Hosting because it is an ethically run, reliable and responsible Internet hosting company. They are a small, friendly, family run business providing services with a personal touch. All of their servers, offices and the data centre they use operate on renewable energy.

Their main hosting environment operates from a data centre running on solar power with a solar panel array capable of generating up to sixty kilowatt-hours of electricity each day.

They are the only UK company (to our knowledge) offering hosting based in a data centre facility powered entirely by solar energy.

If you own or run a website there really is no reason to ignore your conscience. Make the switch today and help protect our environment.
