David Filo recently announced in the Yahoo blog, that he and co-founder Jerry Yang have made it a goal for the internet behemoth to be carbon neutral in 2007.
This is to be achieved by investing in greenhouse gas reduction projects to offset the carbon footprint of Yahoo’s operations which were estimated to be, according to Mr. Filo, as:
Shutting off the electricity in all San Francisco homes for a month. Or, pulling nearly 25,000 cars off the road for a year.
How they are planning to do this is detailed here. Compared to Yahoo’s current environmental activities this next step is quite monumental. Way to go Yahoo!

Congratulations to Yahoo for trying to be carbon free. Yahoo might be the world’s second carbon free search engine if they succeed in doing what they are planning. The world’s first search engine is Picsearch who launched its environmental program a month ago.
