It is a surprising fact for many that 80% of all websites are powered by fossil fuels and account for 2% of global CO2 emissions which is the same as the entire aviation industry*. To put this in perspective, if the Internet was a country, it would be the 6th largest polluter of global greenhouse gas emissions**.
Almost half of electricity in the UK is still generated by burning fossil fuels*** which affects the air quality even long distances from where they are burned. Burning fossil fuels to run websites also contributes to the climate emergency.
This is why we are happy to announce our latest ZEN partner Erjjio Studios who will help you host your website using data centres that are powered by 100% renewable energy. As well as providing website design and bespoke software projects Erjjio will also plant a tree for you every month and provide you with a Certified Green Website badge.
