Announced yesterday:

Yahoo! has committed to going carbon neutral this year. Essentially, that means we’re going to invest in greenhouse gas reduction projects around the world to neutralize Yahoo!’s impact on the environment. While doing our homework on this, we measured our carbon footprint and discovered that Yahoo! going carbon neutral is equivalent to shutting off the electricity in all San Francisco homes for a month. Or, pulling nearly 25,000 cars off the road for a year.

That’s wonderful news, and standing ovation to the Yahoo! management team for taking a step like this.  I’m not sure how Google will respond, but my hunch is they might try to buy the environment as a pre-emptive long-term move.
