How your website is powered: coal mining in the US

The lovely website (and this video above) is probably powered by coal. Tons of it.

The Internet is a demanding network that requires more and more fossil fuels to power it.

If your webhost is located in a coal state, you are forcing visitors to exchange coal to view your site.

If you are a “green company” and you are not using a 100% solar web host, and demand users to exchange fossil fuel consumption just to view your website, it is hard to call you a green company. 

It’s up to you to get off the fossil fuels and be a leader in clean digital communications.
