The Forest
Did you know that internet data makes up 2% of global CO2 emissions? A typical business user’s email habits create 135kg of CO2 emissions each year - the equivalent of driving 321km in a car!At Yahoo, as we help connect people to their passions through new possibilities, we realise that this comes with ensuring that there will be more of the world for future generations to enjoy. Yahoo is raising awareness and inspiring action to drive change — for the planet’s future and ours! Sustainability is everyone’s responsibility — and something that we can incorporate in our daily life, especially in our online activities.We all have a part to play in conserving our world. By pledging your support for #YahooEarthDay to change your email habits and declutter your digital activities, you not only reduce your online carbon footprint. With your pledged support, we have planted 200 trees in our Yahoo Forest with Treedom.Help build our Yahoo Forest today!
Impact
The trees we plant have big ambitions: to bring benefits not only to the environment, but also to the people who live in it. That's why we work with NGOs and local communities to select the right tree for the right place and the right purpose. That’s why we think about the medium and long term, because we’re not content with simply planting trees: we want to see them grow.
The trees in the forest will absorb:
26.63 t* of CO₂
