Citizen Studio recently chose CO2Stats to offset citizenstudio.com. We chose this particular service for a few reasons: 1) it monitors and neutralizes the energy we're using for our site as well as that of visitors' computers and the networks that connect them; 2) it purchases EPA-endorsed renewable energy certificates (RECs) rather than unregulated carbon offsets; and 3) it allows our visitors to view the site's energy usage by fuel type and location.

Citizen Studio just launched a new and improved web site, built using the Drupal content management platform. The site allows us to easily update and maintain all content. In addition to Drupal, the site uses the jQuery JavaScript Library for project slideshows and for partner biographies.

Designing for the Greater Good will feature Citizen Studio’s brand system for the Celebration of Living event hosted by Emory Winship Cancer Institute.

Citizen Studio recently provided Green Chamber of the South with technology for their web site. We integrated the Chamber’s blog into the existing site design, and expanded the site to include a searchable membership directory and event calendar. The new site can now grow with the Chamber’s membership and community.

In honor of Earth Day, we like to share some of the resources that help us in our ongoing efforts to green our business and our lives.

GreenBiz.com has quickly become our favorite source of information on all things green in business. Citizen Studio partner Linda Doherty is now part of the newly formed GreenBiz Intelligence Panel. Panel members will support research to help make business more sustainable and profitable.
