We adopt green-power from Ecotricity
Polaris Digital have now changed electricity supplier from our former to Ecotricity. Unlike regular suppliers, Ecotricity only source their power from 100% renewable sources, such as wind farms, wave power and solar energy sources. The profit Ecotricity generate is re-invested into producing more renewable energy schemes enabling more and more customers to go green.
This means that the energy Polaris Digital now use is 100% renewable and we are not producing any additional carbon from our internal activities.
In addition to changing electricity supplier, we have now removed every energy hungry CRT monitor and television from our premises, replacing them all with LCD displays that use a third of the power. Naturally we have been using energy-saving light bulbs and new LED lights for some time. LED lights use only two-percent of the power of a conventional bulb. In addition to these green measures, we do not use air-conditioning systems in our office and always use public transport to get around.
All in all this means that we can feel good as we’re not burning fossil fuels to run our business, our carbon footprint is now almost non-existant and we use much less electricity. It makes perfect sense to protect our planet, but it also makes business sense as our bills are now much lower.
We now feel confident that Polaris Digital are one of the most energy efficient companies operating in Manchester, if not the North West.
