The environment influences human life now and for future generations.<\/p>\n<p>We believe that a balance can be struck between economic growth and environmental sustainability.<\/p>\n<p>You can check the CO2 emissions on our website:<\/p>\n<div id=\"wcb\" class=\"carbonbadge wcb-d\"><\/div>\n<p>\n<script src=\"https:\/\/unpkg.com\/website-carbon-badges@1.1.3\/b.min.js\" defer=\"defer\"><\/script>\n<\/p>\n<h2>How much CO2 do you generate by surfing the internet?<\/h2>\n<p>It is estimated that <b>hourly<\/b> internet activity across the globe generates between <b>25 to 30 thousand tonnes of CO2<\/b> per hour. CO2 is generated within the data storage centres, which consume electricity 24 hours a day, every day of the year, because they have to keep the storage disks running, so the more they store, the more electricity they consume.<\/p>\n<p>The weight of a website is directly related to the amount of CO2 emitted when visiting it. To bring you up to date you should know that the Internet is powered by factories that release CO2 into the atmosphere, much more than you can imagine.<\/p>\n<p>The Internet emits more greenhouse gases than the aviation industry. In particular, <b>5% of global CO2 emissions<\/b> are due to internet use and maintenance, which translates into more than 800 million tonnes of CO2.<\/p>\n<p>The digital sector consumes around <b>7% of total electricity,<\/b> exceeding even the emissions of the aviation industry.<\/p>\n<p>According to Pesquisa Javeriana, the scientific publication of the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, <b>the average CO2 produced by visiting a web page is 1.76 grams<\/b>, which generates in a year a page with 10,000 visits, about 211 kg of carbon dioxide.<\/p>\n<p>One stored <b>e-mail message<\/b> generates between <b>1 and 10 grams of CO2 per day<\/b>, and if it contains a photo or attachment it can reach <b>50 grams of CO2<\/b>, and only 10% of newsletter messages are opened. In addition, an average user receives 2,850 unwanted e-mails each year from subscriptions, which are responsible for 28.5 kg of CO2.<\/p>\n<p>Other studies, such as that of the WebSiteToolTester portal, which reviews more than 200 homepages among the world&#8217;s most visited websites, find that the most polluting websites are those of YouTube, Google, Zoom and Amazon, but Netflix and Twitter also stand out.<\/p>\n<p>According to the study, YouTube generates around <strong>702,000 tonnes of CO2 per year<\/strong>, while Google emits more than 267,000 tonnes and Zoom, 114,757 tonnes of CO2.<\/p>\n<p>The WebSiteToolTester report also states that <strong>social networks<\/strong> have the largest environmental footprint, followed by e-commerce and search engines.<\/p>\n<p>This figure is set to rise due to increasing digitalisation, online work, ecommerce and the expansion of artificial intelligence, new applications and the further development of blockchain with the rise of cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n<h2>Sustainable web<\/h2>\n<p>To ensure that this website does not contribute to climate change, we make every effort to ensure that the content loads very quickly. In order to make your search and use of this website less electricity intensive.<\/p>\n<p>We do our bit to maintain our planet:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Developing our activities in an environmentally friendly manner, ensuring the protection and conservation of the environment.<\/li>\n<li>Using resources efficiently and making efficient use of energy.<\/li>\n<li>Encouraging waste reduction and recycling.<\/li>\n<li>We reduce the use of paper and encourage the use of recycled paper and black and white printing with environmentally friendly inks.<\/li>\n<li>When we replace any <b>component of a computer, electronic device<\/b>, toner or printer inks, we always deliver the component to a Clean Point for its correct recycling.<\/li>\n<li>Training, informing and making our staff aware of the environmental implications of our activities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Actions we carry out on our website<\/h2>\n<h3>Energy source<\/h3>\n<p>We use a specialised hosting located in Spain with evolving technology to host our websites fast, secure and stable, at <a href=\"https:\/\/clientes.webempresa.com\/europa\/gestion\/aff.php?aff=2400&amp;landing=hosting_wordpress\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Webempresa<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Amount of information<\/h3>\n<p>The average weight of a website is increasing by 10-15% per year.<br \/>We adjust the size of our website and segment all the contents so that the page you are visiting is just what you are looking for. Thus reducing your carbon footprint a little bit more, while you visit us.<\/p>\n<p>So we apply various techniques to reduce the carbon footprint:<\/p>\n<p><b>Images for a more sustainable web.<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>We use the right and necessary images.<\/li>\n<li>We optimise all the photographs on our websites: dimensions appropriate to the devices, compressed images with new generation WebP formats, vector files.<\/li>\n<li>We also use &#8220;Lazy-loading&#8221; so that your photos are not loaded until they are due to be displayed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Videos for a more sustainable web.<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>We use the right and necessary videos. We don&#8217;t usually use videos as backgrounds.<\/li>\n<li>We eliminated auto-play to consume less energy.<\/li>\n<li>We optimise videos with the new formats and WebM codec.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Source code for a more sustainable web.<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>We mimic CSS and Js content, using as little Javascript as possible in order to make the page less energy consuming.<\/li>\n<li>We try to use the minimum amount of plugins or modules, implementing as much php and html code as possible.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Typefaces or fonts for a more sustainable website.<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>We reduce the variations of typologies on our website.<\/li>\n<li>We tried to load the updated WOFF2 format.<\/li>\n<li>Also, when this is not possible, we use variable fonts or OpenType Font Variations, which are typefaces that with a single file can represent all possible weights between the minimum or lightest and the heaviest.<\/li>\n<li>With this technique we manage to unify the typographic files to avoid overloading our websites, following the tips for optimum loading speed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Accessibility of information<\/h3>\n<p>We make it as easy as possible for you to find everything quickly, simply and easily.<\/p>\n<p>We use and implement an elaborate web architecture so that all content is well structured.<\/p>\n<p>We take care of the SEO and copywriting of all our contents.<\/p>\n<p>We always apply the 3-click rule, to navigate and find what you are looking for quickly.<\/p>\n<h3>Technology for a more sustainable web<\/h3>\n<p>We are constantly updated with the latest versions of our CMS, PHP and MySQL\/MariaDB.<\/p>\n<p>We use GZIP compression and server cache, so that the hosting works just enough and consumes less.<\/p>\n<p>In the end it all adds up, at INNOVA RECONSTRUCCIONES, S.L. we do everything possible to improve and adapt technological evolution to sustainable development, where the impact of the carbon footprint is as small as possible.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>We must all fight together, not only to leave the planet as we found it, but to leave it better for future

settings.<\/li>\n<li>Download content and videos instead of streaming them.<\/li>\n<li>Download the songs you love instead of listening online and play them on your phone or device.<\/li>\n<li>Close unused tabs and windows in your browser.<\/li>\n<li>Turn off notifications that don&#8217;t interest you, especially on your phone, so you also reduce CO2.<\/li>\n<li>Uninstall unused applications from your device.<\/li>\n<li>Switch from video calls to calls, disable the camera and leave only audio on in virtual meetings.<\/li>\n<li>Use energy-efficient navigators.<\/li>\n<li>Use dark mode with black backgrounds on desktop and web browser.<\/li>\n<li>Change the synchronisation frequency of applications.<\/li>\n<li>Unsubscribe from Newsletters you do not read.<\/li>\n<li>Comment, post and update in moderation.<\/li>\n<li>Reduce the size of the documents you send by email to reduce the weight of the message.<\/li>\n<li>Do not download attachments by default.<\/li>\n<li>Delete emails that are no longer useful.<\/li>\n<li>Delete your unnecessarily stored online data.<\/li>\n<li>Reduce the brightness of your monitor or device.<\/li>\n<li>Connect to the Internet via cable, as it
