Turnstone goes Carbon Neutral
Tuesday, 30 October 2007

Did you know a small company of 10 staff can emit approximately 20 tonnes of CO2 a year? Your website is responsible for carbon emissions because of energy consumed by the servers and computers needed to host and maintain your site.

Chimney pumping out CO2If you decide to have your website produced by Turnstone Design, we will undertake to offset the Carbon emissions attributable to your website for the first year of its life.  We do this by making a donation to COCO2, who invest the funds in a range of quality assured eco-enhancing projects such as planting trees and providing energy for poor villages in Africa.

The advantages for you - the website owner as follows:
 - You can display the COCO2 logo which is a mark many customers and suppliers look for.
 - You can search for (and be searched for) on COCO2's directory of carbon freindly sites.
 - You get a link from the COCO2 directory to you website (helps with Search Engine performance).
 - You get the satisfaction of knowing you are engaging in better business practice. Becoming carbon neutral can have very positive side effects for a company, including increased revenues from new customers.
