Zusammenfassung
Visualizing the quality of a product or a service regarding its environmental impact is an important step to foster sustainability. Since Internet and Information Technology have an increasing consumption of power, it is interesting to visualize if a Website is hosted with green electricity. We developed a prototypical Firefox extension, which depictures this power quality. The service bases on a database where several providers are stored who offer hosting with green electricity.
