Gaia Host Collective

Pablo Rizzo nos envió hace unos minutos a la lista de Negocios Abiertos información sobre Gaia Host Collective. El proyecto es un emprendimiento comercial abierto [como una SRL] que ofrece servicios de hosting y dominios pero que es llevado adelante por sus trabajadores y está basado en un fuerte compromiso social y ambiental. El 70% de su energía es eólica y/o solar y sus oficinas centrales están ubicadas en una ecovilla en Shutesbury, Massachusetts [con servidores en Boston y backups en San Francisco]. Entre los puntos salientes de su bien interesante responsabilidad social empresaria se destacan:

“Our office is located at an ecovillage and generates 70% of its energy from on-site solar and wind power systems. We match our expenses for grid purchased electricity and grant those funds to local renewable energy projects. We purchase our computers from used sources as much as possible. We only use 100% recycled paper and minimize our total paper consumption. We consider the environmental impact of the actions we take, as a business and as individuals, and strive to minimize their effect. Some examples of this include eating organic, driving cars that run on biodiesel and vegetable oil, bicycling to work, walking to work, growing our own food, and generally minimizing our consumption.”
