VoIP Is Green Too

As more people branch into working remotely from main offices, companies will find ways to further reduce costs. I predict that the rate of people working from home will continue to rise, not only due to costs, but also by choice.
Working from home, if you couldn’t already guess, is a green way to go, too! [...]

Green Web Hosting

Choosing a web host is one of the big decisions anyone has to make when setting up a blog. I made a choice when setting up simple + green, and have stuck with it. That said, I often think of making a switch to different hosting. Not that I’m unhappy with where I am. But [...]
