I had to do a double take on this to really believe someone can make 
money doing this but apparently they must somehow.  How they derive 
revenue apparently wasn't important enough to report on however so not 
really sure.  The company does support 13 full time staffers.

?B Corp? Mightybytes grades the greenness of your website

BY SANDRA GUY sguy@suntimes.com February 15, 2013 6:46PM
	

A 15-year veteran of Chicago?s tech community, web-design and video-
production house Mightybytes, Inc., is designing technology to help 
businesses go green ? a grading process to tell companies whether they 
are operating a ?sustainable? website.

They are just johnny-come-lately to the game.

The scientific evidence linking web sites to global warming has been known
since Netscape came out of Champaign Urbana.

For the past 20 years, Ripco has planted a tree for each and every web site
hosted here to offset it's carbon footprint and for every new server
installed, one of the staff spends a month in South America protesting the
destruction of the Rain Forest.

We even drink our own urine.
