Last year, Dreamhost announced that it has become carbon neutral. This means that Dreamhost has calculated it’s impact on everything that they use and leave behind from paper, to electricty, and even gas to drive to work, then purchase renewable energy credits and carbon credits to offset their companies personal impact on the environment.

You can read more about how carbon neutral hosting works at Dreamhost via their going green blog post and green hosting page.

Every Dreamhost customer benefits from carbon neutral status. Woohoo.
