Comment Ecosia compense-t-elle ses émisssions de CO2 ?

Ecosia plante des arbres, mais pas seulement ! À côté de cela, nous menons de nombreuses autres actions en faveur de l’environnement. Parmi celles-ci, la compensation des émissions de CO2 générées par les recherches Ecosia, qui se fait en deux temps :

Première étape : nous calculons le bilan carbone d’Ecosia. Il correspond à environ 0,7 gramme de CO2 par recherche. Avec 20 millions de requêtes mensuelles, nous générons environ 14 tonnes de carbone par mois. Ce chiffre englobe les postes d’émission suivants :

L’activité courante d’Ecosia (électricité et chauffage des bureaux, ainsi que les déplacements professionnels)

La consommation en énergie de nos serveurs

La consommation en énergie des serveurs de nos partenaires (Yahoo, Bing, etc.)

La consommation en énergie du réseau informatique que parcourent les données des recherches

La consommation en énergie des appareils électroniques des utilisateurs d’Ecosia (ordinateur de bureau, ordinateur portable ou appareil nomade)

Deuxième étape : nous compensons ces émissions de CO2 grâce à notre partenaire MyClimate. Chaque mois, nous reversons une somme d’argent à MyClimate, qui l’utilise pour financer un projet de four solaire à Madagascar. Ce projet a pour but de limiter la déforestation à Madagascar et de supprimer les émissions liées à l’utilisation des fours traditionnels. Il a obtenu le label Gold Standard, qui atteste de la plus haute qualité possible de crédits carbone. Rendez-vous sur ce site web pour en savoir plus sur le projet, et suivez ce lien pour consulter les attestations de dons d’Ecosia à MyClimate.

DJs Against Climate Change

Dance music has become of the most lucrative businesses of the past few years. It's success has hinged predominately on the talent of the DJs who actually perform and because of that, DJs go where they are demanded. This means grueling tour dates and constant travel, most of the time by plane. You can imagine that with all those plane tickets comes a hefty carbon price tag. DJs, just like another person, have to work and their line of work in particular requires travel. Unfortunately, air travel contributes between four to nine percent of the world's carb0n emissions. Brooklyn-based DJ Sammy Bananas is solving this dilemma by uniting DJs (and regular folk like you or me) to help offset the carbon produced by air travel with DJs Against Climate Change.

"These flights contribute millions of tons of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, but are unavoidable in order for DJs to perform. As participants in DJACC, we recognize this negative aspect in our line of work and use our cultural influence to show how everyone can take responsibility for their impact on Climate Change." Source (DJACC).

DJACC have teamed up with myclimate, a non-profit in Sweden which provides funds for projects aimed at "reduce climate-impacting emissions."

"Whether providing methane reducing biodigesters in India, energy efficient stoves in Kenya or similar efforts around the world, myclimate funds serve the additional impact of fostering sustainable development in the project regions." Source (DJACC)

DJACC, which is in its fifth year, helped offset an impressive 457,000 pounds of CO2, which is the  equivalent to more than one million miles worth of air travel. If you contribute (you can donate anywhere from one measly buck to $1,000) to the DJACC program your donation can be written off as a business expense on your 2012 taxes!

Sammy Bananas has some of the biggest names in dance music behind his cause as well including: A-Trak, Anna Lunoe, Apt One, Chris Devlin, Cosmo Baker, Cousin Cole, Dave Nada, DJ Ayres, DJ Day, DJ Benny C, Mike the 2600 King, Morse Code, Pete Emes, The Hood Internet, thee Mike B, Treasure Fingers, Sammy Bananas, Skinny Friedman, Skratch Bastid, Star Eyes, Tittsworth and Willy Joy.

It's great to see someone who is part of this culture that is trying to do something to change the state of our environment. Music is an integral part of our culture and it's not going away anytime soon, nor is traveling by air. DJACC's approach is great because it embraces this fact and works with it instead of against it. Awesome cause with creative minds behind it!
