Agency3 operates our servers in intelligent clusters, which makes us fairly efficient with our infrastructure and power usage. Still, internet operations need electricity, and a majority of that power is generated from coal-burning power plants. Agency3, in partnership with Native Energy, is countering our environmental impact by offsetting the power we use from fossil fuels with renewable energy credits. Our goals are to make our hosting operation completely carbon neutral and to invest in projects that bring more clean energy into the power grid.
Reducing Our Carbon Footprint
With Native Energy, you can help finance and build new clean and renewable energy projects that help create sustainable economic benefits for Native Americans, Alaska Native villages and other local communities, and that help America’s family farmers compete with agribusiness. These projects will displace electricity from fossil fuels and reduce other greenhouse gas emissions on your behalf, making up for the CO2 emissions you can’t avoid.
We know this is not a perfect solution, but it does help us offset much of the energy we use every day and we are pretty proud of it.
