Yahoo commits to carbon neutrality this year

Flag As Inappropriateryan ryan about 1 year ago about Yahoo

Yahoo just recently announced at an all-hands meeting that the company will be going carbon neutral this year. They have estimated that “Yahoo! going carbon neutral is equivalent to shutting off the electricity in all San Francisco homes for a month. Or, pulling nearly 25,000 cars off the road for a year.”

Yahoo is looking for ways to reduce its energy usage since this commitment is only that of a carbon offset, investing “in greenhouse gas reduction projects around the world to neutralize Yahoo!’s impact on the environment.”
