It's no secret that large gifts from high-wealth donors are important to nonprofit sustainability. But what about your super motivated supporters who don't have the disposable income to donate month after month? Maybe they're your best volunteers or always give a donation around the holidays, but could they be an untapped source of revenue?
While a micro-donation of $25 may not seem like it's worth a ton of time or investment to cultivate, it may actually cost your organization to ignore these smaller donations.
Why? Because the group that is making those micro-donations is taking over the planet. And the way that they are sharing their actions on behalf of your nonprofit is making an impact on how others support and donate.
When you look closer at the demographics of today's donors, these micro-donations may actually be worth more than they're letting on.
According to Crowdrise's social fundraising data report for nonprofits, Millennials and Gen X generations made up nearly 50% of all GoFundMe donors. Additionally, 11% of donors are between the ages of 18 and 25, indicating that Gen Z is also active in donating to campaigns.
So what does a high number of Millennial donors have to do with micro-donations? First, the sheer power of Millennials is something that every nonprofit should be anxious to embrace. By 2019, Millennials will overtake Baby Boomers as the largest demographic in the country, with a population of 73 million. And they're already engaged and passionate about giving — 82% of Millennials reported that they gave to a nonprofit in the previous year.
But the way that they give is different from other generations of the past. The average Millennial gave $580 to charity in the past year, which is low compared to $1,365 for Baby Boomers and $1,093 for Matures. But when you consider that this generation is also battling student loan debt, stagnant salaries, and a continuously high living cost, it makes sense why they are donating less than their financially-set parents or grandparents.
And despite their small gifts, their donations have real impact.
92% of Millennials own a smartphone, and 85% use social media. But we don't need to give you stats to prove that today's donors are all over tech and social media. You just need to hop on Facebook or Instagram to see that the actions that Millennials are taking (both digitally and in real life) are showing up online. And this includes the actions that they are taking to support a cause.
In the data report, it was found that 20% of nonprofit donors, or 1 out of every 5 certified charity donors, shared a campaign following their donation. In fact, over 50% of a campaign's donation volume received as a direct result of social media sharing comes from donor and visitor shares, while the rest is generated by the campaign organizer's share.
What makes this number truly great for nonprofits? The average amount of donations generated by a donor's share was $15. Even those who didn't donate were able to help raise funds through social sharing, with the average amount generated by a campaign visitor's share being $13.
Social fundraising, by our definition, is how your supporters these days want to engage with your cause, make it their own, and show the world how they care and give back. All through the megaphone of their mobile device and social networks. So, when you look at someone who is making a micro-donation of $25, the impact of that donation doesn't stop there when you bring social fundraising into play.
Sharing that donation can bring in an average of $15. And if each of those donors share, that can bring in another $15 per share, and so on and so forth. As you can see, sharing on social media has real value.
Be sure that you are optimizing your donation process for social sharing in order to engage today's micro-donors who want to show support online, and to bring in even more donations for your cause.


The conceptual intent for this sculpture was to fabricate a form that resembles a tall rocking chair as well as a high chair. The sculpture is universal in that many people worldwide have seen and use some type of chair for one purpose or another. A chair (seat) is what we use to accommodate our bodies on while performing numerous tasks. The chair is used when we eat, work on the computer, for office work and while waiting. The chair is a public and private object that can be very plan or quite decorative.

Although these words are attributed to George Bernard Shaw, they could very well have been spoken by either parent of Martin Alberto Garza…. Martin was the pride and joy of two extremely loving, intelligent and Christian minded parents and one sister… He was acculturated into small town life near the Mexican border… where hard work, a strong faith and love of community was far richer than dollars and cents. He had personal aspirations beyond Imperial Valley but also wanted to pay it forward. Martin had a Plan A and a Plan B for the future… And then one dark night in January 2013, those plans came to a halt by forces beyond his control. As an attendee at a party, he suddenly and viciously became the victim of a stabbing and homicide… forever silenced in the prime of life by a gang member.
Football was part of the fabric of his life… He spent many hours on the field practicing….and in death a vigil was held in the very same place. His coach instilled the importance of hard work, achieving goals, attaining maturity and rising above petty complaints. Coach uttered the phrase, "Put Your Purse Down, Son" often and it became a meaningful slogan for an entire community. In fact, it was emblazoned on Martin's jacket….as well as part of the Mothers – Men Against Gangs Coalition logo.
This personal story is set apart, not by the act of gang violence, or homicide. This story stands alone for the incredible faith, proactivity versus reactivity and wonderful accomplishments put forth in just five short months. Yes… there are moments of grief and tears and yet… no revenge, no bitterness by the Garza family. They are God's children and they know what to do. Rather, they got busy on behalf of Marin's memory, embraced by an entire community!

Whatever topic you search for, if there are social mentions from your contacts on Google+ then those pages will be the first results you receive. Even if your contacts' posts have nothing to do with what you are actually searching for, because the search engine and the social network are linked they will appear.
Therefore, if your business does not have a Google+ page or you are not actively encouraging your clients to write Google reviews for you, chances are your perfectly good business might become overlooked. It no longer matters how many Facebook fans or Twitter followers post their undying love for you, if you do not generate the same response on Google+ your business could be pushed below the fold.
How to work with the new Google?
Grow your circles by following people or organizations that offer similar or relevant products or services (Google).
At first glance, Google+ appears to be a mysterious terrain for even the most experienced marketer; but in reality Google+ is still a social network. It should be used to engage your following in a meaningful way and can incorporate many of the same marketing techniques used for Facebook.
It is also important to know that while Google+ is a trend every marketer needs to embrace, it is still too early to see the overall effectiveness of personalized results. Only as more users sign up and become involved in Google+, will the true success of social searching be seen.

Why Tantoo From The Ice Road Looks So Familiar
By Brooke Mondor/June 28, 2021 7:44 pm EST
Netflix users are loving Liam Neeson's new movie "The Ice Road" — and for good reason. The action-packed film takes place in icy Manitoba, Canada, and features brave big-rig drivers. When news of a remote diamond mine collapsing reaches ice road trucker Mike McCann (Neeson) and his brother Gurty (Marcus Thomas), they apply to embark on the dangerous mission to rescue the trapped miners, even though the icy tundra is already starting to melt. Another ice road trucker named Jim Goldenrod (Laurence Fishburne) hires the brothers for the expedition, along with an actuary named Tom Varnay (Benjamin Walker) and a young woman named Tantoo.
This stellar cast helps to make "The Ice Road" a thrilling adventure from start to finish. Though Neeson and Fishburne are screen legends in their own right, the supporting cast members are just as important to the film's dynamic. The talented actress who plays Tantoo especially helps bring another layer to the action in "The Ice Road." Though she's not necessarily a newcomer to the world of acting, this is definitely one of the bigger productions this rising star has been a part of.
Here's where you may have seen her before.
Amber Midthunder was in an Oscar-nominated western
One of Amber Midthunder's most critically acclaimed projects yet was in the 2016 neo-Western crime drama "Hell or High Water," that starred Jeff Bridges, Chris Pine, Ben Foster, and Gil Birmingham. Though Midthunder didn't have a major part in the successful drama, her portrayal of a frazzled bank teller was a convincing one that showcased her skills. "Hell or High Water" was eventually nominated for over 100 awards — including four Academy Awards — and won dozens of other accolades.
Midthunder spoke to Icon Vs. Icon about her time working with such a star-studded cast: "That was such a wonderful creative environment to be in. [...] If you look at 'Hell or High Water,' it's a very character driven movie, so it only makes sense for [director David MacKenzie] to be thoughtful of what his actors want to do. To watch Jeff Bridges do his thing was amazing! He's nominated for an Oscar for his performance, so to see him do that, be in it with him and have everything else melt away and be in that world with him was something I will carry with me forever."
Amber Midthunder has had small parts in numerous projects
Overture Films
Though "Hell or High Water" was one of Amber Midthunder's biggest productions, she's been in tons of television shows and movies throughout the years. She played Lilly Stillwater in two episodes of "Longmire," as well as Lana Cleary in two episodes of "Banshee," and the role of Starlet in one episode of "Dig". She also played Kayla in one episode of "The Originals."
Midthunder has also been in several films over the years, with small parts in "Sunshine Cleaning" starring Amy Adams and Emily Blunt. She was also in "Swing Vote" starring Kevin Costner and Kelsey Grammer, as well as "Spare Parts" starring George Lopez and Jamie Lee Curtis.
Midthunder's been in everything from action thrillers to comedies, and explained to Icon Vs. Icon that she's open to exploring all possibilities in the film world: "When I read something I feel that I either have chemistry with it or I don't. When there's chemistry you care, it feels really good and that's when the performance turns out well. That's the feeling I'm addicted to! That's the feeling I want!"
Amber Midthunder played a mutant in a Marvel series
Amber Midthunder's first regular role in a series was in the FX series "Legion," based on the Marvel comics character of the same name.
"Legion" tells the story of David Haller (Dan Stevens), a man who believes he has schizophrenia when he is, in fact, endowed with psychic powers. He meets a group of fellow mutants who also possess amazing powers, and attempts to learn more about his family's history. Midthunder played a mutant named Kerry Loudermilk, who lived within the body of an older scientist named Cary Loudermilk (Bill Irwin).
In "Legion," Kerry Loudermilk also happens to be Native American, and Midthunder herself is of the Fort Peck Assiniboine Sioux tribe (via Indian Country Today). Midthunder spoke to the New York Post about growing up with her actor father David Midthunder ("Westworld"), and how representation matters to them within the TV and film industry: "My role in 'Legion' was not originally written as a Native American. I just went in and got the job, and it's mentioned in one episode. It's not ignored but it's not the centerpiece. I think that is the biggest compliment that you can give to any minority: inclusion but not focus. I'm a Native American girl, but I'm also so many other things."
Amber Midthunder is in the Roswell, New Mexico reboot
One of Midthunder's most recent roles is on the CW revival of "Roswell, New Mexico." The sci-fi drama series is centered on Liz Ortecho (Jeanine Mason), the daughter of undocumented immigrants who moves back to her hometown of Roswell, New Mexico. As Liz starts to realize that there are aliens living amongst humans in her hometown, she becomes personally entangled in the mystery on her mission to uncover the truth. Midthunder plays Rosa Ortecho, Liz's older sister, who died in a car crash before the events of the first season.
Though Midthunder was initially cast as a recurring character, she was promoted to series regular for season two and has continued to play Rosa since (via Deadline).
Since "Roswell, New Mexico" is the second version of the same concept, some of the actors from the original series have returned to work on the newest version. Midthunder spoke to Collider about working with those original cast members, explaining "It's legendary. It's so cool. In this time period, when we're attacking these stories that people loved so much, and they were so well-received and even we loved them, to have them around is everybody's favorite day. When they're around, I feel like everyone is geeking out. Roswell is geeking out over Roswell. It's so great."

A close cousin to its namesake, acetyl fentanyl has been sold on the streets in packages marked as heroin.
A new and powerful drug that is 15 times stronger than heroin has made its way onto streets and resulted in a wave of emergency room visits across the country.
The opiate is typically used intravenously and taken as a substitute for heroin. However, many users are unaware that what they are injecting isn't actually heroin.
The Drug Enforcement Administration warned local authorities last January about the "killer heroin," but also urged them to exercise caution when handling it because fentanyl can be absorbed through the skin.

We are looking for male and female volunteers to support young people aged 7-14 years within Kinship Care.
Big Hearts Community Trust approached The Broomhouse Centre & Enterprises in 2016 about starting a befriending service. This was due to the model already working well in the South West of the City. This service would be for young people in Kinship Care. In October 2016 Big Hearts Befrienders was launched!
This is a city wide project.
The aim with befriending is to support the young person in a 1:1 relationship to learn new skills, help their confidence, self-esteem and have one reliable person to talk too.
Kinship Care is when children and young people are living with grandparents or a close relative on a regular basis.
Volunteers would come from the fan base of Heart of Midlothian Football Club and the referrals would come from primarily Mentor UK.
Training to become a Big Hearts Befriender is 1 evening a week for 4 weeks. (6.00-8.30pm). The training is held at Tynecastle Stadium.
Please contact Jane, Big Hearts Befrienders Project Worker, who can talk through the journey of a Big Hearts Befriender.

An inspiring story of beating the odds and learning to overcome--no matter what life hands you.After starting a family and flourishing in his career, Tim Hague was struck by misfortune. The irritating tremor in his foot turned out to be early onset Parkinson's disease. He was only 46 years old. But what seemed to be an end became a new beginning. Just three years later, Hague won the inaugural The Amazing Race Canada (with his son, Tim Jr., as his teammate). His remarkable life story shows that perseverance is not just a matter of willpower: it is a skill that can be learned and honed. And perseverance is the theme of his life. From the day he was born, Hague has gone from one struggle to another. Yet, remarkably, he doesn't have a trace of self-pity. In fact, he feels blessed. From his tough start in life as an unwanted mixed-race baby born in Texas in 1964, to his eventual move to the unforgiving climate of Winnipeg, Canada, to start a family under difficult circumstances, and his continuing battle with Parkinson's--Hague's life is a roadmap of perseverance. Parkinson's has forced him to retire early from the work he loves as a registered nurse. But as a healthcare professional, and now suffering from a challenging disease himself, Hague discusses living with Parkinson's like no one else could. He now works with charities to help promote Parkinson's awareness and his "Live Your Best" message. Drawing on his experience winning The Amazing Race, and referencing cutting-edge research and studies, Hague weaves a moving story of failure and success, outlining the elements of his philosophy that anyone can apply to their own lives, including:** * The nature of luck:** Luck comes to those who keep trying until the end--never stop until the race is over. * Find community: As a nurse, a husband and father, and a man living with Parkinson's, Hague knows better than most that we all need to ask for help sometimes, and that's a good thing. * Accept limits: By focusing on what we can do, we accomplish more than we ever thought possible. * Cease striving: We think of striving as a positive attribute, but all we end up doing is banging our heads against the wall. Have goals, but have fun.

In her instant, multi-month New York Times bestseller, Angela Duckworth shows anyone striving to succeed that the secret to outstanding achievement is not talent, but a special blend of passion and persistence she calls "grit." "Inspiration for non-geniuses everywhere" (People).The daughter of a scientist who frequently noted her lack of "genius," Angela Duckworth is now a celebrated researcher and professor. It was her early eye-opening stints in teaching, business consulting, and neuroscience that led to her hypothesis about what really drives success: not genius, but a unique combination of passion and long-term perseverance. In Grit, she takes us into the field to visit cadets struggling through their first days at West Point, teachers working in some of the toughest schools, and young finalists in the National Spelling Bee. She also mines fascinating insights from history and shows what can be gleaned from modern experiments in peak performance. Finally, she shares what she's learned from interviewing dozens of high achievers—from JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon to New Yorker cartoon editor Bob Mankoff to Seattle Seahawks Coach Pete Carroll. "Duckworth's ideas about the cultivation of tenacity have clearly changed some lives for the better" (The New York Times Book Review). Among Grit's most valuable insights: any effort you make ultimately counts twice toward your goal; grit can be learned, regardless of IQ or circumstances; when it comes to child-rearing, neither a warm embrace nor high standards will work by themselves; how to trigger lifelong interest; the magic of the Hard Thing Rule; and so much more. Winningly personal, insightful, and even life-changing, Grit is a book about what goes through your head when you fall down, and how that—not talent or luck—makes all the difference. This is "a fascinating tour of the psychological research on success" (The Wall Street Journal).

In this must-read book for anyone striving to succeed, pioneering psychologist Angela Duckworth shows parents, educators, students, and business people—both seasoned and new—that the secret to outstanding achievement is not talent but a focused persistence called "grit."Why do some people succeed and others fail? Sharing new insights from her landmark research on grit, MacArthur "genius" Angela Duckworth explains why talent is hardly a guarantor of success. Rather, other factors can be even more crucial such as identifying our passions and following through on our commitments. Drawing on her own powerful story as the daughter of a scientist who frequently bemoaned her lack of smarts, Duckworth describes her winding path through teaching, business consulting, and neuroscience, which led to the hypothesis that what really drives success is not "genius" but a special blend of passion and long-term perseverance. As a professor at the University of Pennsylvania, Duckworth created her own "character lab" and set out to test her theory. Here, she takes readers into the field to visit teachers working in some of the toughest schools, cadets struggling through their first days at West Point, and young finalists in the National Spelling Bee. She also mines fascinating insights from history and shows what can be gleaned from modern experiments in peak performance.

Learned lessons from patients who take clozapine: A case study.
PURPOSE: The purpose of this report is to provide clinical strategies to manage patients with schizophrenia taking clozapine.
CONCLUSIONS: Serious side effects and required blood monitoring impede the use of clozapine, despite the benefits of clozapine for managing psychiatric symptoms. Well-managed patients receiving evidence-based interventions exhibit reduced symptoms, improved functioning, and better adherence to treatment.
PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: Preexisting medical conditions should be considered before prescribing clozapine. Ongoing education on medication and mental illness for patients and family members is essential to prepare them for adherence to management plans. Healthcare providers are responsible for monitoring the side effects of clozapine.

Red Wine, White Wine, or maybe sparkling - Can you Choose?
Drinking Italian red wine is both a popular pastime and a common retirement fantasy for anyone relaxing after a particularly stressful week.
Italian white wines are some of the most popular in the western world.
Italians understood that there was space in the wine market, seeing a gap for sparkling wines that could be enjoyed for reasons other than a special occasion.


Device battery life will be significantly affected by the use of this API. Do not acquire WakeLocks unless you really need them, use the minimum levels possible, and be sure to release it as soon as you can.
If you hold a partial wakelock, the CPU will continue to run, irrespective of any timers and even after the user presses the power button.
Without going into more detail, what this basically means is that even when your phone isn't in use, the Facebook app may cause it to continue to burn through CPU cycles (and RAM/ROM cycles, for that matter). The end result is that your battery life takes a significant hit.
I noticed this yesterday after I updated my Facebook app the night before, but I also flashed a new CM6 nightly and I (incorrectly) assumed that was the cause of the power drain. The power drain was fairly substantial - with the same usage conditions (and unplug time and time-frame), my battery was at 38% when I went to bed, while it's normally around 54%.
Hopefully it won't take Facebook as long to fix the wake lock issue as it did for them to come out with a decent App - if so, we probably won't get a fix until mid-2012 (*zing*).
Hi folks, a number of you have commented on seeing a battery drain on your device since installing the new Facebook for Android app. We have identified the bug that is causing this battery drain and are working on a fix now. As soon as the patch is ready, we will push out an update. Thanks for the quick feedback and for your patience as we get this fixed!

Bhindi is also known as lady finger and okra,and it is a very popular vegetable with Indians.People cook it in many ways.My mom used to make this Kadhi for a change.The Bhindi Saute in some spice and cooked in curd and besan mixture or you can fry bhindi separately then add into cooked curd mixture.Try this out and let me know.
Mix curd, besan,turmeric powder,salt,red chili powder and mix well without any lumps.
Add 2 and 1/2 cups water and mix it again and keep aside.
Uncovered for 4 to 5 minutes. now add curd and besan mixture.
Stirring continuously til one boil.reduce the heat and simmer for 6 to 8 minutes.
Lovely kadhi, have to try it for me first with rice.
Bhinda Kadhi is my favorite!!
Bhindi kadhi looks yum.I wish my daughter ate more of veggies so I could try more of these simple recipes.
Okra is also popular in my house, use it if possible for stir fries and fish curry. Certainly its a dish I would love to explore for the delicious and thick gravy.
anything with bhindi.. im always in..this looks yum..

Conor McGregor Led Out Of Police Station In Cuffs, Mugshot Released
Kyle Rooney
@_UncleRooney
McGregor to be arraigned in Brooklyn Criminal Court today.
Conor McGregor was spotted today for the first time since his meltdown at the Barclay's Center in Brooklyn, as he was led out of the 78th Precinct in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn in handcuffs.
The 29-year old UFC star was led to a waiting police car after being hit with assault charges as a result of the chaos he caused at the UFC 223 Media Day yesterday afternoon. According to the New York Post, McGregor will be arraigned Friday in Brooklyn Criminal Court.
He did not speak to reporters this morning but you can check out the footage, as well as his stoic mugshot, below.
The former lightweight champion was stripped of his title earlier this week, since he hasn't competed in a UFC fight since winning the 155-pound title back in November 2016. However, that is not the reason that McGregor stormed the Barclay's Center yesterday to confront Khabib Nurmagomedov.
The Irish superstar was allegedly furious at Nurmagomedov for running up on fellow UFC fighter Artem Lobov in a Brooklyn hotel earlier this week, and decided to catch a flight to New York to confront him. McGregor never got his hands on Nurmagomedov, but he did manage to injure several other fighters during his rampage. Lightweight Michael Chiesa and featherweight Ray Borg have both been deemed unfit to compete on Saturday's card due to injuries sustained during the attack. Additionally Artem Lobov, who was part of McGregor's crew yesterday, has been pulled from the card.
On top of all that, Max Holloway has been declared "unfit to fight" Khabib Nurmagomedov for the vacant lightweight championship, which means Anthony Pettis, who was supposed to fight Michael Chiesa, is likely to step in for the main event.

Greening The Internet Cloud
Air Date: Week of April 20, 2012
Internet use and the demand for storage in the cloud are soaring. A new report from Greenpeace looks at data storage companies and their energy use. Gary Cook, an IT analyst at Greenpeace, tells host Bruce Gellerman that companies like Apple should be transparent about their energy use and invest more in renewable energy. One company, Akamai, ranks high on energy transparency in Greenpeace's report. Nicole Peill-Moelter is Akamai's Director of Sustainability. She says Akamai wants to help other businesses be more efficient but the company knows firsthand that affordable renewable energy is not always available on a large scale.
GELLERMAN: From the Jennifer and Ted Stanley Studios in Somerville, Massachusetts, it's Living on Earth. I'm Bruce Gellerman. The exponential growth in digital data: photos, email, videos, corporate, governmental, and personal records have been soaring like a rocket. To keep up with the demand to store, manipulate and manage all those gajillion gigabytes, we've increasingly turned to the cloud: vast, often remote sites made up of millions of computer servers that use prodigious amounts of energy.
Now, Greenpeace wants cloud companies to come clean on their energy use and has issued a new report rating how well they do. Greenpeace Senior IT Analyst Gary Cook is author of the study: How Green is your Cloud?
COOK: At a global level our estimates show that the electricity demand of the cloud would rank among countries, it would make it the fifth largest electricity consumer in the world, equivalent to the amount of emissions from airline travel. And what we did our report for was to really try to shine a light on which companies are doing well in terms of powering their platforms with renewable energy and those who maybe aren't doing quite so well. Because there are lots of claims about how green the cloud is, but we think it's really important to look at companies and how they're performing.
GELLERMAN: Well the cloud is also growing very rapidly.
COOK: That's very true. If these companies, who are some of the most innovative in the world, embrace the challenge to power their platforms with renewable energy, they would be leading the charge for all of us to have clean energy. If they go in the other direction, they can actually be holding us back and making investments that could be extending the life of coal plants and making investments that are going to slow down the transition to renewable energy.
GELLERMAN: Well I'm looking at your scorecard here. So you rate them in terms of their amount of coal and nuclear power they get. Of course, four variables: energy transparency, infrastructure citing, energy efficiency and greenhouse gas mitigation and renewables and advocacies, and none of them do really well. You gave no straight A's, you didn't give any straight B's either, a lot of D's and F's.
COOK: That's true. On the plus side, we have seen significant improvement since we put out a similar report last year. On the downside, we see many companies growing very quickly and building in locations that are going to be largely powered by coal and other sources of dirty energy, so quite a bit of room for improvement.
GELLERMAN: You really take Apple to task, you say that their cloud storage facilities, their new ones in North Carolina, are, you know, really not very clean at all.
COOK: Apple is one of the most innovative and popular companies in the world. They challenge us all to think different. In the past, and what we'll see in the future is, accept that challenge with regard to its energy use for its cloud. And so, what they need to be doing is demanding better from Duke Energy who has a number of coal plants very close by, that use mountain-top removal coal from Appalachia. And they're a big customer, they have the ability to demand better, to demand that Duke think different and provide them clean energy.
GELLERMAN: There are of course companies, say, like Amazon, which does all its business, basically, on the cloud, and they say: Hey, we save a lot of trips to the store, you know, digital books – we save trees.
COOK: We view the INC sector as a critical partner in driving a clean energy economy, you know, using video conferencing instead of transportation or do-it-online rather than having to do it in the real world. But it's important that we get this investment right, because we are going to continue to rely upon it more and more and it's a significant power demand.
GELLERMAN: So, how green is the Greenpeace cloud?
COOK: So Greenpeace has adopted a global commitment to move its IT services to be powered by green energy as fast as we can, and have been contacting our providers, many of whom are included in the evaluation, we released this week to understand the amount of renewable energy they are using and make sure that we can power, fully power, our cloud services from clean energy.
GELLERMAN: One of the companies that you rate is Akamai. It's one of the largest cloud service and data delivery companies in the world, and Gary I'm going to speak to Akamai after our conversation, have you got a question for them, because you rank them on this report.
COOK: We gave them one of our few A's in this evaluation because of their transparency. They have really the only company who is reporting the amount of carbon across their network. Ask them: Are they going to get other companies to do the same?
GELLERMAN: Gary Cook is author of Greenpeace International's new study: How Green is your Cloud?
GELLERMAN: Well, as mentioned, Akamai is one of the cloud companies ranked in the study. At any given time, up to 30 percent of all internet traffic is carried on Akamai's cloud computing network.
In Hawaiian, Akamai means clever or smart, so maybe we shouldn't be surprised that it's the only company Greenpeace gave an A for 'energy transparency.' It's the only company that measures the energy used at its cloud data centers, in terms of carbon emissions. Nicole Peill-Moelter is director of environmental sustainability at Akamai. I put Gary Cook's question to her: What was Akamai doing to get other cloud companies to do the same thing?
PEILL-MOELTER: It's a great question and I think it has to be answered by each company on their own. They have to make their own decisions about how transparent they want to be with their data. Akamai felt that it was important for us to be transparent because we could help other companies understand that metric-ing their energy and carbon emissions is actually a way to make their operations more efficient.
GELLERMAN: But you did get a D in renewables and advocacy.
PEILL-MOELTER: Yes. We own and operate our own servers. We currently have one hundred thousand of them and they reside in seventy-five countries and third-party data centers. We don't control the operations of those data centers and we don't have anywhere to cite our own renewable energy. We want to start working with our data center partners to better understand how their operations can become more efficient, because we feel like energy efficiency is probably where we're going to get the biggest impact. It reduces cost so it's a natural for businesses to adopt.
GELLERMAN: Well, can't you choose your data center partners? You're a big company.
PEILL-MOELTER: We certainly can. But to be honest there aren't a lot of data center providers out there who use, who actually do on-site renewables, because data centers tend to use megawatts of power and you can't really put solar panels on a data center to provide even a tiny fraction of that power consumption. So usually what we see is where it's available, our data partners can purchase the renewable energies off of the grid.
GELLERMAN: Well, I don't know about the renewables, though, Microsoft is going to get one hundred percent of its energy from renewables in the UK and Ireland. They've got new data farms there and Facebook says they're building one in Sweden. So I guess it is possible.
PEILL-MOELTER: It certainly is possible. Akamai doesn't have the scale that these other companies that you mentioned do, so we have to sort of work within the business parameters, what's right for Akamai, and we certainly have to proactively look for those opportunities where they make sense for the business.
GELLERMAN: I was looking at some statistics and one that really caught my eye was this one. It says that by 2020, there's going to be a fifty-fold increase in data that will be stored in the cloud. That's mind boggling, you know, talk about clouds, these are storm clouds. How can you handle all of that data and do it in an environmentally conscious, sustainable way? Can it be done?
PEILL-MOELTER: Yes, and I think that that is the question that Greenpeace is asking. You can't get to carbon neutrality with energy efficiency. What needs to happen is we need to go to less carbon-intensive electricity. What we're seeing is the states are going to a higher level up of, through the renewable portfolio standards, meaning they have to each want to have a different mix of renewables in its electricity portfolio. In California it's thirty percent by 2020. Texas and, I believe, Massachusetts have aggressive targets as well. What we're hoping is that as there's a bigger patchwork of these targets and standards among the states, at some point the federal government will say 'We need to standardize on a, at least, a baseline level for renewable energy.'
GELLERMAN: Do I hear you asking for federal regulation?
PEILL-MOELTER: (Laughs). I think I would like to see the federal government take some leadership in this insofar as overall energy policy. What I hear a lot is that businesses are asking for some certainty around what is the price of carbon, what will be my future price of electricity? Then they can adapt their strategies. I think it's inevitable that we're marching towards carbon-free energy. I heard recently that it's a seven trillion dollar industry globally and it'd be nice for the U.S. to take a leadership role in that and get a decent size chunk of that. I think that might solve our economic woes and certainly our jobs problems.
GELLERMAN: So, kind of every cloud has a green lining.
PEILL-MOELTER: Every cloud has a green lining, yes. Green both in dollars and environmental (laughs).
GELLERMAN: Well, Nicole, thank you so very much.
PEILL-MOELTER: Thank you, Bruce.
GELLERMAN: Nicole Peill- Moelter is director of environmental sustainability at Akamai. Now, we should note Apple, which scored low in the Greenpeace cloud study, disputes many of the findings about its reliance on coal and nuclear power. Apple plans to build America's largest privately owned solar facility to power its new cloud computing center in North Carolina. It will be built on-site, on land around the massive building.
