How to reduce the Internet and emails' carbon footprint
The internet is central to our personal and working lives, allowing us to share messages, videos, photos, music and more, all from the palm of our hands. However, our internet usage and online habits significantly affect climate change, contributing to 3.7% of the world's total carbon emissions, worryingly similar to the aviation industry.
This is why it's vital to switch to
carbon neutral broadband to reduce your carbon footprint far beyond your home's internet use. Not to mention
Your Co-op Broadband provides
award-winning customer service and
reliably fast speeds of up to 900Mbps.
