I love to see new technology and innovation involving alternative, naturally occuring sources of energy. not only for the obvious conservation aspects but also for the sheer ingenuity of it. I just received this message from our host server company and would like to share it.

Renewing Our Green Commitment
 
HostGator has just purchased additional certified REC's (renewable energy credits) for our nearly 9,000 servers. This covers our entire server base, plus it gives us room to expand while more than offsetting the server's carbon footprint. Instead of just offsetting our server's emissions, we've committed to a 130% offset. Since we're based in Texas, this investment goes towards Texas wind energy.

As a HostGator customer, you should know that your web site is being powered by a 130% green server.

We love those 'gators- not only are they phenomenal providers offering superior support- but they're using their noodles down in Houston to go beyond their specific expertise and give some back to the globe. That is service with some BITE!
