Automatically check the sustainability of a website with The Green Web add-on.
The Green Web Extension
Is the site running on green power? Hurray! Smiley face!
Is the site is still running on grey power, from fossil fuels? Boo! You'll see a sad face. Why not ask them to switch?
But wait! There's more!
If you search with Google, Yahoo, Bing or Ecosia, you'll see which sites in results run on renewable power - green links get smiley faces in the results.
Also, if you're on a page with links to external sites, you can see if the external site is hosted on green servers too. Links to green sites have a checked green underline on them.
The Green Web Foundation maintains an open database listing which datacentres around the world run on green power. We use this to present this information in this browser extension.
Both the platform, and the browser extension are open source, so if want, you can see what's happening under the hood when you use the service.
In fact, all the source code for all our projects is published on Github, so you can see how they *all* work. We welcome feature requests and contributions to the project. - https://github.com/thegreenwebfoundation/web-extension
