Environmental Community Outreach Programs
MySherpa is an environmentally conscious business and have outreach programs to minimize environmental impact of business technology in Delaware and surrounding areas.
First, conservation starts at home. In 2007 we made the following changes in our office:
- Recycled over 1 ton of used computer equipment to the Delaware Solid Waste Authority Electronic Goods Recycling Program
- Recycling electronic goods removes potentially hazardous materials from the waste stream and saves landfill space.
- MySherpa sells only Energy Star 4 compliant servers & desktops. These machines have power supplies that are 80%+ efficient under partial and full loads.
- This new computer specification is expected to save consumers and businesses more than $1.8 billion in energy costs over the next 5 years and prevent greenhouse gas emissions equal to the annual emissions of 2.7 million vehicles.
- Saving energy helps prevent global warming
- Replaced incandescent bulbs with high efficiency compact fluorescent bulbs
- We replaced an inefficient air conditioning system with a high efficiency unit in the office.
- A portion of MySherpa's office electricity is provided by renewable Wind generation
- MySherpa founder is active in promoting offshore windpower in Delaware to promote energy diversity and clean energy.
