Today, the internet is the fastest-growing carbon polluting industry in the world. For reference, back in 2012 there were around 500.000 data centers worldwide, now there are over 7.2 million data centers worldwide, an increase of 15 fold in a matter of 10 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Approximately 2% of the world\u2019s carbon emissions are accounted for in data centers, that is as much as the Airline Industry!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a massive problem and it will only get worse if we do not act on it accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Virtonos_Commitment_to_Help_Our_Planet\"><\/span><strong>Virtono\u2019s Commitment to Help Our Planet<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>We will plant a tree for every service that is bought today.<\/p><cite>D.
