Exactly.... It's the entire energy footprint of the hosting company, alternative energy sources, efficiency of building energy use, (down to how the carpeting was made, how the furniture was made, lighting installation.... and how can it all be re-processed; do they recyled paper on their business cards.... How do they dispose of old equipment? --(I donate mine to an orphanage in Africa.)
But..... For some of us... This is a LOT more than a "trend".... I think this is a promotable, saleable idea, worthy of support
