How It Works

Making Websites Carbon Neutral

We calculate your website's emissions and buy verified offsets to make it carbon neutral. It's that simple.

The Problem

Every time someone visits your website, electricity gets used in three places: the server hosting your site, the internet networks, and the visitor's device. This electricity creates CO2 emissions.

A single page view uses enough energy to power an LED bulb for 20 minutes. With thousands of visitors, that adds up fast.

Our Simple Solution

We handle everything automatically so you don't have to think about it.

1. Calculate

We estimate your website creates 2.5 grams of CO2 per visitor. This covers servers, networks, and devices.

2. Offset

Every month, we buy verified carbon offsets from forest protection and renewable energy projects.

3. Verify

You get a certificate page showing your carbon neutral status and a badge for your website.

How We Calculate

We use a simple formula: 2.5 grams of CO2 per visitor. We overestimate on purpose to make sure we cover everything.

Real Example

If your website gets 20,000 visitors per month:

  • • Your website creates 600 kg of CO2 per year
  • • That's like driving 1,500 miles in a car
  • • We offset all of it for $350 per year ($29/month)
  • • That's less than $1 per day to be carbon neutral
