<div class="moz-cite-prefix">We use about 90 servers worldwide. I
guesstimate they use at minimum 400 MWh annually, producing
roughly 180 tons of CO<font size="-2">2</font> if all the power is
fossil based. Compare that to flying Berlin to Paris and back,
which is about 100kg of carbon dioxide per passenger. The same
journey by train would use about 20kg. <br>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Relocating our servers to Norway (73%
green electricity), Iceland (72%) or Sweden (54%) would be great.
Unfortunately we use a lot of donated servers and rack space, and
it is globally distributed, so relocating everything to beautiful
Oslo doesn't make sense. Sigh....</div>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix">If we do pass a Carbon Reduction
resolution it should state that we will locate servers on a
greener power grid, whenever it is practical, and that we will
book our travel on the greenest transport that is practical.<br>
