dynanti recognises that it has a responsibility to help save the environment through reducing its energy consumption and carbon footprint. Being an IT-based company it relies heavily on networks and servers that run twenty-four hours a day.
Today we’re joining thousands of people and organisations across the country in adopting a simple goal: cutting our carbon by 10% in 2010. It’s called 10:10, and we want you to be a part of it.
Cutting 10% in one year is a bold target, but for most of us it’s an achievable one, and is in line with what scientists say we need right now. By signing up to 10:10 we’re not just promising to reduce our own emissions – we’re becoming part of a national drive to hit this ambitious goal in every sector of society.
We’ve started working towards our commitment by investing in less power-hungry equipment and reducing the individual pieces of equipment in the office. Of course, there are limits as to how far we go – we can’t switch mission-critical servers off at night, but we can upgrade them to newer more efficient models and combine roles so that one piece of equipment does the work of two, or three.
The success of 10:10 depends on getting everyone involved in making it happen, and the 10:10 website has all the tools you need to spread the word far and wide. We need to start getting the message out to every corner of the country, inviting our friends, family, colleagues, customers, competitors – everyone we know – to take part.
It’s easy to feel powerless in the face of a huge problem like climate change, but by combining our individual efforts under one banner, 10:10 enables all of us to make a meaningful difference. It’s the perfect opportunity to find out what’s possible when we work together.
And don’t forget, there are benefits to reducing our carbon emissions; we’re expecting our monthly electricity bill to be reduced considerably as a result of this investment.
So take a look at the 10:10 website now and make your pledge to help.
