We have a pleasant announcement to make now. We recently discovered that Steadfast Networks, the data centre that houses our servers in the US, has partnered with Carbonfund.org in order to reduce its carbon footprint. It now purchases its own offsets for the things it cannot control (115 tonnes thus far) and has an impressive list of things it is doing to help the environment.
It has partnered with the Chicago Transit Authority to "help make public transportation a cheaper and easier option for its employees". Its building is highly engineered to ensure that it is as efficient as possible. It buys direct from local vendors, who do their bit by delivering equipment themselves, without all the extra packaging. It started a recycling program in the building to ensure that it, and others, do what they can to recycle (including old servers). You can read more about it here if you are interested.
