I would sell of the parking lots and that way make everybody have to take a bus. There would be no driveways to the building, just about a half mile of woods and grass all around it. They would have to walk from the closest bus stop.

According to TechCrunch, the top 3 Google Execs have 8 corporate jets between them. This is pretty carbon neutral, right?

How about remove the AC from their buildings?

And all the furnaces.

Nope. The employees would still be emitting carbon. Lots of it. And methane gas to boot. They should all commit suicide in a Jim Jones or Heaven Gates type situation. Lol.

They would be ex-google employees if I were running the place.

Data Centers: How much energy does a server farm consume?

Question seems to read for a single server farm.

Projected 73 billion kWh by 2020. But lots of solar panels too.

Corrections, insights welcome.

Funny thing is, Google once spent a lot of money researching pollution free technologies and they concluded that they wouldn’t work.

Then most of Google’s preferred employees- uneducated, unqualified H1Bs from India and Communist China should go home and protest in their own countries. World would be a much cleaner place if those two countries were forced to clean up as well

Why does anyone still use that company for searches? Use DuckDuckGo.

“Do the right thing” - “Don’t be evil!”

Hey Googlites, does the above sound familiar?

Every last school district and teacher who brainwashed kids with this filth should be hunted down and put away.

They should do a trial run in the summer have a day without carbon. They sit there in the dark in the hot room with blank computers and stare at each other.

“Google employees call for corporate climate change action”

1. Don’t air condition or heat any google facility

2. reduce the pay of all employees so they can’t afford to buy meat, a house or a car,or heat or air condition their rental unit, or afford to buy electricity ... THAT would tremendously reduce google’s “carbon footprint”
