Everyone is aware about How bad the environmental condition is getting of our Planet Earth. As you will be aware of the recent conference being held at Copenhagen in Denmark where they will be talking about how they can reduce the carbon emission and various other ways to Save The Planet Earth.
And if you still aren’t aware about it, then you are probably a greedy person who don’t care about all this and only like to live in your luxurious life, but remember that your luxurious life won’t stay long if something really, really, really bad happens with Earth .
But It’s really a serious issue one should look at it with full respect. As a blogger, you can take 3 Simple Steps which can contribute really big towards saving our planet.

1. Use Green Hosting
As a blogger, one can choose Green Hosting for their blogs. It means that choosing those Web Hosting Companies which are using electricity for running their servers and offices produced from environmental friendly resources like Windmills. One of the main and best leader in web hosting companies and is still Green is HostGator.
HostGator is powering their servers and offices with the electricity produced from the Windmills situated at Texas city. All of their shared and reseller servers are 130% wind powered!
According to HostGator, It’s the equivalent of:
- Removing 444 cars from the road for a year, or
- Powering 321 homes with clean energy for a year, or
- Saving 5,654 barrels of oil, or
- Protecting 551 acres of forest for a year
Just imagine how big you will be contributing by using such hosting. And I am proud to say that I am also a HostGator Customer. They are really good as hosting company. They are cheap, reliable and supportive, Plus they are Green! What else do you want?
2. Change Up The Lighting
When you are blogging, consider switching off those big lights(tube lights) and instead of it, try using CFL bulbs which provides really good light which is sufficient enough to let you blog properly and also it consumes very less electricity. You can also take this one step ahead by switching off the wall lights and bringing in a Table Light or A light which can be focused easily anywhere i.e you will get the required light at your workplace.
This can really help reduce the carbon emission as you will be saving electricity and the best part is that you will be saving lot of money on Electricity Bills. That means you are Making Money Taking such steps 😉
3. Configure Your PC
According to some studies, it has been found that reducing/adjusting the brightness and contrast of your monitor screen helps in saving electricity. Also, a study conducted at TechLogg stated that use of LCD monitors or Energy Efficient monitors can help in reducing the energy consumption. Other than that you can use low electricity consuming computer parts for your PC like Cooling Fan etc.
The Green Conclusion
I hope as blogger, we can contribute big part towards making the earth better from how it is right now. We can’t just talk on this matter of global warming as it has been already too late and one must start taking the steps from right now.
Let me know your thoughts. Tell me your ways so that we can protect our plant earth as a blogger.

What kind of bulb are you using? How many watts? You may be – or you may not be making a dent. How about unplugging appliances that are not in use? Some of them draw power constantly, even when they’re off.
.-= Holly Jahangiri´s last blog ..Win an Autographed Copy of A Puppy, Not a Guppy =-.
Do you mean such don’t let the PC on stand by condition? And always turn the monitor off after using?
Anyway, my bulb is 14w but sometime i’m buy the 20w. How about you?
As a blogger, we can also make 125×125 banner or widget saying some word such : SAVE EARTH…!!! or “Blogger Love Earth”
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Make or Break – Website Review =-.
My plan now is to make article related to go green and post in on my blog. Well, for no #2 and #3, it’s good idea, but don’t push yourself to do it. For example, changing the contrast of your monitor to certain level which may cause your eyes getting hurt and tired so easily. Do it normally 🙂

Good tips! I’m with FatCow, and they’re also wind-powered. Though they use carbon offsets to make the claim. Thank you for supporting businesses in my area! HostGator is just down the road from me. (If I’d known before signing up with FatCow… well, c’est la vie. I’m happy with my Web host, too.) The only problem with your lighting suggestions is that after a while of doing this, it can give you headaches and eyestrain to work under standard, office flourescent tubes!
Give up paper cups and plastic foam cups, and just rinse your coffee cup daily – that helps, too.
.-= Holly Jahangiri´s last blog ..Win an Autographed Copy of A Puppy, Not a Guppy =-.
FatCow is also using wind to generate power ??? this is awesome to share in protecting planet and am glad to know there is another hosting site is using clean power .
I hope all other sites do the same and not depending just on consuming all this much of power and Electricity .
Ok then green hosting should be appreciated by list it here. For now, we already get 3 : Hostgator, Fatcow, and Bluehost. I would like to know more.
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Make or Break – Website Review =-.
Yeah I don’t use coffee paper cups as I hae my own mug. As for host using green power I hope more and more host follows suit.
.-= ZXT´s last blog ..What’s Hot on YouTube =-.
And just for info, green hosting is not about to use windmil only, but there is other green technique such using solar/carbon neutral. I know it when reading some review of green hosting site.
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Make or Break – Website Review =-.
After i read all comment, i’m so thanks that all is aware about our earth. Each person have each way to protect our planet, no matter if it’s simple or big step. All is useful. Well, as a blogger, i have one more idea about this things. If you want to running contest, how about making contest such “Save our earth video contest” or “Letter for earth contest”, it’s help.

we can also add Tigersites and Goodavocado in this list.
Well, if we’re serious want to make a list, it can be a hundred. But just too notice, i think some of them is scam by telling about go green hosting, but in the real, their are conventional hosting. So, check testimonial and be aware 🙂

Supergreen-eco friendly host
Thinkhost- solar/wind powered host

These are very famous in green hosting. Tigersites and Goodavocado are new in this green hosting…
.-= Deepika´s last blog ..Contest @ teenius.com:Win Prizes worth over $800 =-.
For hostgator, thinkhost, and ipage we clearly know about the way their are using for saving energy to protect our earth. But for the other, is their really green? Since the information we get is just “Green hosting” without knowing what technique their are using.

As a blogger, we can easily write as many articles that we may in order to disseminate awareness but we cannot be sure that one or two will respond so basically, it boils down to starting it ourselves online or offline. Too much rant, less action equals no result.
.-= Mathdelane @Software Critics´s last blog ..YouTube Grows a Feather but Still Can’t Fly =-.
Yes, the main concentration is still should be for ourself first. About the less respond which may come to our “save planet”-related article, yes it’s too bad because sometime we need to give them something. But if we giving something such prize/freebies, i think it’s not a pure awareness about the importance of saving earth.
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Make or Break – Website Review =-.
We can also educate the readers on the development of gadgets for going green, such as solar panels etc for personal and home use.
.-= scheng1´s last blog ..Purpose of college degree education =-.
Making blog which have go green as main topic is also good idea. But based on google keyword external for “go green” keyword, i find the competition already tough :P. Anyway, don’t make it for monetize purpose.
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Make or Break – Website Review =-.
I’m become interested to make blog with “go green” as main topic. But i will make it for local purpose, because i think it’s better to start for our country first :D. Hopefully my interest is become bigger, and then the blog is realized.
Anyway, after looking around for some review site, and as i said, there is so many go green technique which hosting site use such windmil, solar, etc. Which is the best?
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Make or Break – Website Review =-.
best wishes for starting blog with topic “go green”… Thinkhost will be best for both solar and wind… whats your opinion?
.-= Deepika´s last blog ..Contest @ teenius.com:Win Prizes worth over $800 =-.
What i mean is the technique. But to respond about thinkhost, yes i think it’s best since using 2 ways to save energy in purpose to protect our earth. Anyway, thanks for the support for my interest of making go green blog.
Anyway, is there any “go green” related template for blogspot/wordpress?

Ph no, what i mean is not the hosting, but the technique. Is windmil save earth more than solar energy, or solar is more good than carbon? Just like that 🙂
