Did you know, the internet accounts for 4% of ALL energy consumed.
The average website is responsible for 4.61g of carbon being released into the atmosphere for each page loaded!
For 1000 page views that's the equivalent of:
10 cups of coffee
Driving a car 15km
So, how do we do it?
Our websites are built with the environment in mind from the very start.
Our websites are ‘data light’, meaning they are optimised to ensure that the amount of energy needed to get the web pages from the server is minimised.
The servers we use are carbon zero, provided by ‘eco hosts’. They are as reliable and secure as any other hosting, they just love the sun and wind more than most!
Everything Wild Tree Digital does, it does with the environment in mind. We minimise car travel, are paperless and our bank has divested from fossil fuels.
Happily, research shows that website visitors respond better to a clean and optimised website, so there’s no need to compromise on user experience 😊
