Website host commits to renewable energy and discovers the dividends of going green
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
Vladislav Davidzon, Executive Director of ThinkHost, a website hosting company, explains his organization's decision to switch to 100 percent renewable energy and how this commitment benefits customers and employees alike.
ThinkHost, Inc. (thinkhost.com), a progressive principles based web hosting company, have recently switched their hosting operations to 100% renewable energy; powered through a wind/solar mix.
Vladislav Davidzon, Executive Director of ThinkHost explains, "We've had a very serious environmental/progressive business commitment since we began.
Over the last 12 months, we've also made further efforts to minimize any negative impact our web hosting business has on the environment -- after all, you're either part of the problem or part of the solution -- and we've chosen to be the latter.
Paying the added cost of renewable energy is an investment that we are only too pleased to make.
The transition has been seamless and our clients pay no extra.
Due to ThinkHost's infrastructure and geographical distribution, the company couldn't install solar panels or construct wind turbines to supply their needs, but green energy certificates allowed ThinkHost to achieve its goals.
After an extensive audit of electricity use -- everything from server consumption to the power used in staff offices scattered throughout the world, ThinkHost acquired the necessary green energy tags to offset the non-renewable consumption.
This is becoming an increasingly common practice with forward thinking companies.
Mr Davidzon elaborates: "Why invest millions in green power generation infrastructure, when it's already available through green energy certificates -- the end result is the same.
The certificates we acquire ensures that the equivalent kilowatts will be fed into the grid from wind/solar sources rather than non-renewable means.
The more companies that do this, the cheaper that green energy will become until we're at a point that all electricity is generated via earth-friendly methods.
We let the experts in the field generate the energy, allowing us to focus on what we do best; providing web hosting services and supporting other community/progressive projects through our donation and discounts program".
