Going Green - Carbon Credits don't go far enough!
The use of carbon credits to offset greenhouse gas emissions is
a step in the right direction, but at PureIdeasPlus.com
we think this solution doesn’t go quite far enough. We think
that it is better to avoid creating a carbon footprint in the first
place, rather than buying “indulgences” to license irresponsible
behavior. So we’ve taken several steps that reduce our carbon
footprint right up front:
20% Reduction in Power
Our network operations center is a member of The Green Grid (thegreengrid.org),
a non-profit consortium dedicated to advancing energy efficiency
in data centers and business computing ecosystems. Recently, using
a proprietary system in conjunction with cutting-edge data center
equipment, they were able to reduce energy consumption for cooling
by more then 20% over conventional methods.
Zero Fuel Consumption
We don't commute, so we don't pollute. By working remotely and
using up-to-date collaborative tools, our customer service and support
staff don't have to commute to the office, thus keeping vehicles
off the roads and reducing carbon emissions. This also enables us
to hire top-quality personnel from around the world, regardless
of geographic location. Currently, we have staff in both the U.S.
and Canada.
Heat with Renewable Resources
Our office in northern Idaho uses a wood pellet stove for heating
to lower the expense of a regular furnace. Wood pellets are made
from waste material which used to be burned by local sawmills, but
is now recycled into a clean, green source of fuel.
