Eco-Friendly Web Design: Why Your Website Should Be Sustainable
As businesses shift towards sustainability, one often-overlooked area is website design and hosting. The internet may seem invisible, but websites, data centers, and online activity contribute significantly to carbon emissions. At GreenPixel Web Solutions, we specialize in eco-friendly web design to help businesses minimize their digital footprint while maximizing impact.
🌍 The Environmental Impact of Websites
Many people don’t realize that the internet requires massive amounts of energy. Here’s how websites affect the environment:

✅ Web Hosting Produces Carbon Emissions – Many hosting providers run on fossil fuel-powered electricity.
✅ Heavy Websites Increase Energy Use – Slow, unoptimized websites require more energy to load.
