Interview: SustainableWebsites on the Soundness of Carbon Offsets to Combat Global Warming
Carbon Offsets Daily: Do you think companies should use carbon offsets to mitigate their global warming emissions?
SustainableWebsites: Yes. The old saying in carpentry is “measure twice, cut once” and I think it applies to offsets too. First, take a baseline measurement of your existing carbon dioxide footprint, and begin offsetting as soon as you can. Then, determine areas where you can cut down on the the actual CO2 produced, so that you can purchase less offsets. The act of purchasing carbon offsets is only the first step towards true sustainability, but it is a very important one because without measurement you don’t know where to start. So, if you can “measure and cut” and then continuously improve, your company will be truly living up to its potential in terms of helping the impact of its activities on global warming. A complete sustainability strategy should also measure and then reduce waste and water usage as well as energy, and include social and labor considerations.

Overselling has also distorted customer knowledge of the hosting market and needs-based analysis of hosting plans. Instead of learning to use rational evaluation techniques of each hosting plan under consideration, customers have been “trained” through constant exposure to ads emphasizing high disk space and bandwidth (and little else) to choose the host that offers the most disk space and bandwidth for the least amount of money.
So, what does this mean for the industry? It should be pretty obvious: overselling is not a sustainable practice from a financial standpoint.
