Oxygen is produced as a waste product. Chlorophyll is the “green” chemical needed by plants for this process, CO2 is absorbed to help the tree grow. We “assist” in the offset all of our estimated 25 Tonnes per year of CO2 (by “sequestration” or “Carbon Fix”) by working with TreeSponsibility, a community based Climate Action Group, we also plant a tree for every new Broadband and Web Hosting customer, in effect becoming “carbon positive”, we solar power our offices and operate within our environmental and ethical policy (we have been doing this since December 2003).
