There's a problem with our planet's environment. We realize that our data centers' emissions and power consumption contribute to the problem. While Rackspace doesn't claim to have the absolute answer, we are committed to contributing our part toward the larger picture. It's going to take industry leaders like Rackspace Hosting to step up and admit there are much more environmentally friendly ways of doing things.

Working with a partner like NativeEnergy, Rackspace is diligently working toward the goal of being a greener company. We know it's not something that can happen overnight, but by addressing the problem and educating our customers and employees, we are taking the first step toward a cleaner tomorrow.

We are focusing our efforts in three categories:
1. Company Conservation
2. Customer Offerings
3. Employee Education



What can Rackspace as a company do for the environment?
With nine data centers worldwide producing thousands of tons of CO2 a year, Rackspace knows the way we've been doing things has to change. We are dedicated to energy conservation and exploring new and alternative ways to conduct our business.





What can Rackspace customers do?
Rackspace Hosting has partnered with NativeEnergy to provide a business carbon calculator that will help estimate a company's carbon footprint and the tools available to help offset emissions. We are also dedicated to education on how to reduce consumption.





What can Rackers do?
Rackspace has held two "Green Days", company-wide fairs aimed at educating "Rackers" about conservation, recycling and other eco-friendly programs offered around the city and state.
