Fighting Climate Change. Our Bit

Reading Time: 2 minutes

We have set several goals as a company for 2020 but one of the most important ones is fighting climate change.


We have decided to be proactive and take concrete actions to look after our planet and do our bit fighting climate change.


This year, Neolo will plant 1 tree for each new client we get. To prove we have kept our promise, by the end of 2020 we will announce and share with everyone how many trees we have managed to plant.

It is vital to be aware of what is happening to the environment and to take care of our planet. We aim to offset the carbon footprint generated by our cloud servers. We want a healthier world!

What is climate change?

Climate change is one of the greatest threats to humanity. It is time to act!
Some of the consequences of climate change on the planet are higher average temperatures, rising sea levels, damage to crops, droughts, unusual phenomena such as strong storms and hurricanes, extreme fires, and more natural disasters among others.


This is a global problem, we must act now and we must do it collectively. We can all do our bit, even from our own home. Remember to adopt energy efficiency measures when possible, as they are essential to reduce our impact.

Global temperature has increased 1.1ºC from 1850, and it has increased 0.2ºC just between 2011 and 2015.


This is partly caused by our increasing carbon emissions. The amount of gas entering the atmosphere between 2015 and 2019 has increased by 20% compared to the previous five years. (Source: BBC)

What is a carbon footprint?

The carbon footprint is an environmental and sustainability indicator that can be applied to an individual’s actions, groups, organizations or even big industries. It is a way to measure and illustrate our impact. A carbon footprint is expressed in carbon equivalent units (CO2eq) and to put it simply, it is the effect left on the environment by every activity that emits greenhouse gases.

Both individuals and companies must be aware, we still have an opportunity to reverse the damage we have done to the planet. Join us!
