Green Web Design

The internet makes information available without cutting trees, so it's already low-carbon, right?

Nope. Computers create an estimated 54 million tonnes of CO2 per year. That's equivalent to 5.4 billion gallons of gasoline.


Living a green lifestyle extends beyond recycling and efficient light bulbs. Here is a bit of how sunWISE design operates:

• Committed to carbon-neutral hosting / data centers that use wind, solar and clean energy. (Many data centers use coal).
• Run by an off-grid micro-hydro system for two years.
• Will soon be part of a co-housing community that will power a shared office with renewable energy sources.
• Walk or bike to my computer (to work).
• Shared office space (shout out to the Building Tree).
• Use Skype or teleconferencing rather than flying to meet with clients and business partners.
• Choose recycled print materials and natural inks.

Living close to nature, growing food and making conscious, responsible choices that consider the rest of the world. This is how I choose to live.

• Eat local, organic, mostly unprocessed food and shop at the local Co-Op.
• Annually support local Co-Op Radio.
• Participate on the Board of Directors and use the Carshare Co-Op.
• Build a small, efficient home with only the essentials.
• Freecycle and share.
• Volunteer and donate back to the community.
• Choose to be impeccable with my integrity.
