We powered everything down last Thursday, for the long weekend. More than 90 computers were powered on this morning by 9am – with an average of 1.5 monitors per user in the studio, and some carbon calculator maths, we saved …. 1013 KwHours of power, which would have a carbon footprint of 529 Kg of Carbon Dioxide or 147 KG of Carbon.
That carbon footprint is equivalent to ...
… a medium-sized petrol-using car going for a 1600 mile drive (from Paris to Moscow)
… or completely incinerating 30,000 sheets of A4 paper !
We're continuing our push to be greener - the carbon offset of 4 weekends like that is equivalent to the carbon capture of two newly planted trees – week in and week out.
That is a huge difference!
