Changing the world? Start with an app!

Seven years ago, we started working with a small team on a project that aimed to make the kind of energy visible that powers the Internet: green for renewables, grey for fossil-fuel powered.

Today, The Green Web Apps show in your browser the source of energy of every site you visit. To date, Internet users have performed well over half a billion checks with the apps, monitoring the emergence of The Green Web.

Are you looking for a green hoster?

Although the Internet is growing at a manic pace, the market share of green hosters is growing faster! This means that they are slowly but steadily creating The Green Web. Are you looking for a green hoster too?

Do you want to check your search results instantly? We invented a clever app just for that.

The Green Web App will show you whether a website is hosted green or grey whenever you visit it. But there is more: it also works while performing Internet searches on Google, Bing or Yahoo. All results are labeled real-time on your screen, so even before visiting a site you will know whether it is hosted green or not! Moreover, all links to green sites on webpages that you visit will be underlined subtly by a thin green dashed line.
