Lessening the footprint...
Carbon footprint, that is. This site is now monitored by CO2Stats for its power usage, including that of the web servers, connected networks, and your computer as you read this. All that energy consumption then gets offset by purchases toward clean, renewable energy to neutralize the carbon emissions due to generation of that electricity. Part of our effort to work green.
