HostPapa Green Tags Information
Green Tags are created when wind power or other renewable energy is substituted for traditional power. The result is a shift away from our dependence on burning fossil fuel to produce electricity. Using clean renewable energy is friendly to the environment and reduces emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. Green Tags represent the real savings in carbon dioxide and other pollutants that occur when green power replaces burning fossil fuel.
Renewable energy is still a little more expensive than buying traditional power, so Green Tags are purchased in addition to the electricity that you are now using. Buying Green Tags has the same effect as buying green power. Both replace fossil fuel generators with clean renewables, and both have exactly the same environmental benefits.
The purchase of Green Tags - which are also called renewable energy certificates - supports the production of renewable energy in the United States and Canada. Participants continue to receive a separate electricity bill from that provided by their utility company. For every unit of renewable energy generated, equivalent amounts of Green Tags (renewable certificates) are produced. Green Tags support new renewable electricity generation, which offsets the environmental effects of burning coal, gas, and other fossil fuels in the region where the renewable generator is located, and helps shift the overall energy mix toward more renewable resources. Also, Green Tags help build a market for renewable energy, reduce global climate change, and may have other environmental benefits such as reducing regional air pollution.
Go Green with HostPapa Web Hosting
HostPapa has taken the initiative of going green by purchasing 100% green renewable energy to power their data centers, web servers, office computers, laptops and office space. These energy sources supply HostPapa's entire equivalent energy consumption into the power-grid with certified 100% renewable green energy sources, such as wind and solar-powered energy.
Simply put, HostPapa did it because of their commitment to corporate responsibility and to the environment. Ultimately, they wanted to be the green leader in web hosting. The servers and equipment they use at HostPapa run 24 hours per day and consume a great deal of electricity. Why should HostPapa burden the world just because they require that electricity to light up their servers? If HostPapa needs the electricity for their operation, they choose to buy it from clean-energy sources and contribute positively to our environment.
