...Greener Clouds! Here at Think Cloud we might have big feet, but don't have big carbon footprints. As web developers and designers, we incorporate as many green initiatives into our daily life as possible. We read our mail and news online, we communicate with instant messenger and Skype, we recycle, we ride our bikes, we telecommute, we think before we print and we watch movies and TV shows online.

So... What choices do you have?

Once you have decided to work withus, we'll let you know what the green options available to you and your business.

  • Green Web Hosting. This is where Carbon Offsetting, Carbon Credits, Renewable Energy Certificates, Energy-friendly Servers, Better Data Center Layouts plus many other options get thrown into the mix to become more environmentally friendly web hosts.

  • Make a donation. While we do our best to be as green as possible, it never hurts to help out some of the other guys out there with the same overall goal!
  • Re-purpose. All printed materials are created using recycled paper.

"Think Cloud love the work of Carbon Conscious, we encourage you make a small donation through the pay-pal link to the right and we will match 100% of your donation"

What's in it for you?

awards 1 n 2

If you decide to incorporate a green initiative in your new design, you'll get to choose which one of our of our exclusive green site awards will feature on your new site, minus the watermark of course.

Our green site award is a simple way to say to your customers and visitors, "HEY, look at us! We're doing our little part to look after EVERYONE'S future". At the end of the day, it actually is easy being green.

If you decide that all this is a little too much "green" for your liking, we won't pressure you about it. We'll just ring your Mum and let her guilt you into it.
