Facebook – wie schauts mit erneuerbaren Energien, um die 400 Millionen Community am laufen zu halten?

Facebook soll grüner werden!
Die Energieversorgung von Internet, Computer & Co., kurz Informationstechnologie (IT), setzt genauso viel vom Treibhausgas Kohlendioxid frei, wie der weltweite Flugverkehr – Tendenz steigend. Wer erneuerbare Energien einsetzt, kann somit eine Vorreiterrolle beim Klimaschutz einnehmen. Die Betreiber des Onlinenetzwerkes Facebook setzen jedoch noch immer auf die klimaschädliche Kohlekraft. Greenpeace ruft nun bei Facebook zum Online-Protest für ein Grünes Facebook auf. via Greenpeace
