The NGO Greenpeace, as every year, published its Green Internet "Clean clicking close" report on good students in renewable energy in the high-tech giants.
We do not always think but internet, cloud or web services have an ecological footprint as much, if not stronger than some industries. The reason being that the internet is particularly energy intensive and therefore it has an impact on pollution since very often this energy comes from fossil fuels.
Apple reference to follow for "Green Internet"
For several years, the Web giant embarked on a race to that manage to offer the most "green" internet possible. Apple is a leader in the field, followed by giants like Yahoo, Facebook or Google. The firm at the apple has indeed made a huge progress compared to a few years ago, where she was one of the most polluting companies in the world and today 100% of its data centers only use eg that renewable energy! The company has even become the reference to follow to improve its environmental footprint.
Google, Yahoo and Facebook are following the same path and show excellent results even if the way to go says Greenpeace. However some companies are really very bad figures of students like Amazon, eBay or Oracle. The three companies are still using largely non-renewable energy such as gas or coal.
Greenpeace conducts comprehensive reports annually to provide the tools for large companies make strategic decisions also in the environment. The NGO wants above all the giants are the first to make the effort because they grow Internet users around the world still use more internet, data centers, etc. Each year, Internet users around the world are increasing the footprint Online, which has a direct impact on climate change. So we can better understand the issues that drive the NGO to ask companies to invest in renewable energy use.
