MyFreePaysite.com Goes Green
Wednesday, August 8th, 2007
We are pleased to announce that MyFreePaysite.com is the first adult website in the world to go GREEN! What does that mean? Why is it important?
In short, running a big website means having a lot of web servers (computers) which uses up a lot of electricity. Unfortunately, much of the world’s electricity comes from burning carbon-based fossil fuels like coal. When these fossil fuels are burned to create electricity, some of the products are greenhouse gasses like carbon-dioxide (CO2) which many scientists believe might be causing global warming, climate change, and lots of other bad stuff.
So we have decided to do our part. We have conducted a company-wide carbon audit in order to reduce our use of electricity and gasoline (from car travel and air travel.) For our remaining carbon footprint, we have purchased carbon offsets from CarbonFund.org. This money will go toward funding renewable energy, education, and reforestation.
This is not the perfect solution, and we know that some question the validity or effectiveness of carbon offsets, but we think it’s a good start and certainly better than doing nothing. We encourage other websites to join us in this effort to raise awareness and help our environment even in this small way.
As your reward for reading this science lesson of a blog post, we will let you in on a little secret. We just added a new link to our video section called Member Channels. It’s located half way down the members page. Check it out before anyone else even knows that it’s there. Enjoy
