Online Leaf - Making Websites Greener

How much CO₂ do you emit, when surfing the web? Every minute a thousand visitors spend browsing a website an average of about 1.2kg of CO₂ is emitted into our atmosphere.

Now, that is not a very large number individually for a website, but if you consider the amount of time you spend on the internet along with everyone else, Online Leaf might be a step in the right direction, when trying to make the web much greener. So help the environment by making your website green!

OnlineLeaf.com is a CO₂ neutral website, neutralizing our CO₂ footprints and making the use of our engines, as environmentally friendly as possible.

This means we have acquired CO₂ quotas, which have been cleared with the state authorities in EU.

The standby engine is a project developed to reduce power consumption, when generating and displaying a website, without changing user experience while using the website. This is done by covering the site in a stationary, black color, which hides visual effects making the visitor's computer use less energy generating and displaying these.

It might not seem like a lot of difference, but after all every little bit does count.

To get full control of the way your website can save energy, and master its energy savings, you can follow these simple instructions.

Any website can install the standby engine, and be among the many other green websites which help the environment by reducing their CO₂ footprint.

The Online Leaf project develops and markets green website additions, which are easy to use on any website.

The idea is that a lot of small improvements make a large impact if they are spread out on a large enough number of websites, which will hopefully make the web less of a burden to the environment.
