A little history:  Earth Day was founded in 1970 out of the want to educate and bring public awareness to environmental issues. It’s no secret that as a species, we’ve wreaked a bit of havoc on our one and only inhabitable planet as no other species has.

Everything we do has an impact on the world around us and that definitely includes all of the technology around us. Many tech companies these days recognize the strain their devices or services put on the environment and work to offset it.
