Thumbs up Overclock.net is Now Carbon Neutral
Did you know that Overclock.net produces an estimated 20 tonnes of carbon each year by running our servers and conducting other Overclock.net business?

In order to offset this, Overclock.net actively donates to carbon offsetting projects such as NativeEnergy & TerraPass who fund projects that help make our world a cleaner and better place.

Want to contribute on your own behalf? Visit a site like this to find out more.

Edit: We have refunded any pooled donations due to a few skeptics out there. Please contribute how you best see fit.

The 20 tonnes come from servers/other powered infrastructure hardware + travel.
