Get this, Google has pledged to go carbon neutral by the end of the year. A far cry from where they were a few months back when they mentioned “With the company growing 60 to 70 percent a year, we can’t hold our energy use flat for now,” said Bill Weihl, head of Google’s energy strategy.

Here are some of the ways they plan on achieving this goal:

• Completed a 1.6 megawatt photovoltaic system, enabling it to power 1/3 of its corporate headquarters using solar energy.
• Backing the Climate Savers Computing Initiative with a number of other high tech companies to promote energy efficient computing.
• Launched a green initiative called, RechargeIT, to develop plug-in hybrid vehicles that can serve as batteries for the electrical grid as well as reduce carbon emissions.
• They are offering to pay members of its AdSense publishing network via Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) in 25 countries. This can significantly reduce our dependency on paper, and protect the tree’s.
