HOW DOES IT WORK?
 CO2stats continuously scans and monitors:
 your server's carbon footprint, (which, if you host with Little Web Feet will always be ZERO)
your visitors energy consumption while they are on your site, (the amount and type)
the networks required to connect your visitors computers with your servers
(CO2stats can tell the class of computer your visitor is using, how long they stay on your site, and even what types of fossil fuels are being burned in order to power your visitors' computers and the networks that are connecting your visitors' computers with your servers)
 CO2stats:
calculates your website's traffic and network total fossil fuel consumption
automatically purchases the equivalent *REC's at the end of the month
(CO2stats research scientists have spent years building extensive databases on server, personal computer and network energy consumption, as well as on fossil fuel usage all over the world. Their detailed, patent-pending calculators are based on industrial and governmental data that has made their certification the gold standard in environmental footprint monitoring for the web)
 CO2stats:
displays the calculations in real time
displays the monthly *REC's that were purchased
certifies that your site's traffic & network is 100% CARBON NEUTRAL!
*what are REC's?
Renewable energy certificates are contracts with third-party wind and solar farms, (who are audited, for e.g., under the EPA-endorsed Green-e program), that require those farms to produce precise amounts of renewable energy and to pump that energy onto the electrical grid so that "dirty" sources of electricity (like coal and gas) are utilized less. By pumping that electricity onto the grid, CO2Stats is able to displace the CO2 derived from fossil fuels that powered your site the previous month, thus neutralizing your site's carbon footprint.
Having little web feet is now as easy as One, Two, Three.
