Why Ebay is destroying the planet (maybe)

The reason Ebay recieved such a low score from these guys maybe down to its carbon footprint.

Whilst billions of people buying second hand toasters and fake handbags probably wont be destroying millions of square feet of rainforest a second, the machines that run the Ebay central brain will probably be consuming a fair amount of power. Coupled with the 200 million people using Skype and the millions of people paying for porn over PayPal, they maybe putting lots of pennies in the meter.

I think the thing here could be down to them displacing more carbon, if they planted a rainforest or something that could help raise the score for them.

But as there is tonnes of rainforest anyway, whats the point eh?

I think we need to applaud Ebay for not clubbing a baby seal to death each time someone buys a Lord of the Rings box set, freshly knicked from HMV.
