Rackspace Events - Greenspace

There's a problem with our planet's environment. We realize that our data centers' emissions and power consumption contribute to the problem. While Rackspace doesn't claim to have the absolute answer, we are committed to contributing our part toward the larger picture. It's going to take industry leaders like Rackspace to step up and admit there are much more environmentally friendly ways of doing things.

Working with partners like NativeEnergy and The Green Grid, Rackspace is diligently working toward the goal of being a greener company. We know it's not something that can happen overnight, but by addressing the problem and educating our customers and employees, we are taking the first step toward a cleaner tomorrow.

We are focusing our efforts in three categories:
1. Company Conservation
2. Customer Offerings
3. Employee Education

What can Rackspace as a company do for the environment?
With eight data centers worldwide producing thousands of tons of CO2 a year, Rackspace knows the way we've been doing things has to change. We are dedicated to energy conservation and exploring new and alternative ways to conduct our business.

What can Rackspace customers do?
Rackspace will work with NativeEnergy to invest in renewable energy projects to offset carbon emissions produced by customer servers managed within Rackspace's data centers.

What can Rackers do?
On June 7th, 2007, Rackspace held its first "Green Day", a company-wide fair aimed at educating "Rackers" about conservation, recycling and other eco-friendly programs offered around the city and state.
