Greening your web server
Recently, one of my favorite forums announced the newest steps they've taken to reduce their carbon footprint even further, and I must admit it's something I never even really considered in detail. The Backyard Chickens forum has committed to offset their total carbon footprint of their servers by 110 percent. This is achieved through large-scale reforestation campaigns operated by American Forests.How it works is the server company calculates their commitment to reforestation not only on the energy consumption of the servers themselves, but on the entire infrastructure. This includes routing, switching and backup equipment. Check out the American Forests website for more details on how this is achieved.
