Did you know that the IT industry and in particular the web industry, is a major contributor to climate change? It takes a lot of electricity to power data centres full of web servers and that adds up to roughly the same carbon emissions per server as a SUV.

All TML Web Design websites are hosted with Hostgator in Texas. Hostgator has taken their environmental responsibilities seriously by investing in Green-e certified Renewable Energy Credits (RECs). They use renewable energy to both power and cool their web servers, meaning their servers are 130% powered by wind technology.

This is the equivalent of:

  • Removing 444 cars from the road for a year, or
  • Saving 5,654 barrels of oil, or
  • Protecting 551 acres of forest for a year

That’s got to be good for the environment.
