Go Green with Software Downloads

November 27, 2009 by AntivirusWare.

It’s important for everyone to reduce their carbon footprint. One way to do this is by downloading your computer’s software. According to a recent study by Microsoft, a boxed version of Office 2007 purchased at a retail store produces over 8 times the emissions compared to a downloaded copy.

This is a very noticeable difference — just imagine if you were to multiply these results by 10 million downloads. Ten Million downloads would equal an emissions savings equal to 13,000 cars driven for one year, or 231 acres of Amazon rainforest deforestation which could be avoided.

So, next time you need to purchase software - give a download a try. You can try some of our Antivirus Downloads to get you started in the Green swing of things:
