There is a good chance you never thought about how much energy it costs to run the Internet. Until I received an email from Aaron Handford, the founder of Solar Energy Host, it had never crossed my mind.
But, according to Aaron, the Internet has a colossal carbon footprint. Every year, running the Internet requires approximately 868 billion kilowatt hours of electricity.So what can the average person do? You might wish to investigate Solar Energy Host.
