Solargle aims to be a symbol of that global action. It is not enough for our policyholders to take action, and we must each do our part, every single day, to reduce the carbon emissions polluting and destroying our earth.
Solargle's hosting is 130% wind powered. This means that we are not only neutralizing our environmental impact, but reversing it! Our host's contribution to saving the planet is approximately equal to preventing the emission of 3117 metric tons of carbon dioxide, or, in other words:
Removing 444 cars from the road for a year, or
Powering 321 homes with clean energy for a year, or
Saving 5,654 barrels of oil, or
Protecting 551 acres of forest for a year
