Have you ever considered the amount of money you spend each time you print invoices, brochures, letters, and pamphlets? Then you have to consider the ink, envelopes, packaging, and postage. Why not use electronic correspondence instead, such as email and websites?

Incidentally, U.S. Postal Service rates just increased again, which means rates have gone up nearly 24 percent since 2001.

Save the paper, ink, and postage, and send email with attachments to provide information and documents (PDFs). Use hyperlinks within emails to refer to pages on your company websites. Rather than mass marketing through snail mail, email marketing is more efficient and easier to track.

Here’s the best part: You can choose Dogpaw Web Hosting to run your website on sustainable wind power.

Hey, guess what? The websites we design and host through Dogpaw Hosting run on sustainable wind energy. What? Yes, the servers that host our clients’ websites run on local wind-powered electricity. Interested in seeing our hosting plans?

The government just released a new report saying that wind energy could generate 20 percent of the country’s electricity by the year 2030. That’s the same amount that nuclear reactors currently generate. Rather than a prediction, the report merely concludes that this growth is possible, although there would be many challenges to achieving it along the way. Only 1 percent of the nation’s electricity comes from wind power today, so an increase to 20 percent would require major improvements to the wind energy infrastructure.

Sure, this would take a lot of work, but it would be worth it. We’d decrease our natural gas consumption by 11 percent and our coal consumption by 18 percent by 2030. “This is the equivalent of taking 140 million cars off the road,” said Andrew Karsner, the Energy Department’s assistant secretary for efficiency and renewable energy.

Help us support wind-powered energy by opting for sustainable Dogpaw Web Hosting.

I’d like to announce Dogpaw Web Hosting, featuring sustainable wind-powered servers in our data center in Portland, Oregon.

We’re reinforcing our commitment to go green and buy local. We offer various hosting plans to accommodate all of our clients’ website needs, including brochure sites, blogs, forums, shopping carts, and content management systems.
