Clean our Cloud

The cloud—the place where our e-mails, pictures and music are stored and shared—is growing fast.

The engines that drive the cloud are data centres. Some data centres are so big they can be seen from space. They use a huge amount of electricity – the equivalent of almost 250,000 homes.

Right now, companies like Apple, Microsoft and Amazon power the cloud with coal, which means more air pollution and more climate changing emissions.

It doesn't have to be this way. Together we can push IT leaders toward clean, green, renewable energy sources. The more we upload our photos and files to the cloud, the more important it is to make sure it’s powered with renewable energy.

Join us in asking Apple, Amazon & Microsoft to clean our cloud.
