NEWS: Responsible Action Taken For Our Kids And Young Players (September 5, 2020)
 | All of HI3 Development and Enjoyment has gone Carbon Neutral
Chris and I (Joe) Core Developers of HI3 have young kids. It is clear to us that any action we can take to help leave ours and other kids a comfortable planet is worth taking. To that end, we are doing what we can for ourselves and players to reduce and repay our carbon use. HI3's development has been kept pretty efficient. We all have completely worked remotely in home offices, and made other personal choices to reduce our carbon footprints. The Games are inescapably going to use some carbon, however, simply due to using electricity. Our plan with this is to fund a reputable Carbon Offsetter (a company that supports projects that reduce the amount of carbon). We will do it for not only our personal and servers' carbon usage, but ALL OF OUR PLAYERS' time spent on the game for the year! So, you can feel a little better about your own involvement in this issue. Additionally, we would like to give each of you the opportunity to take a little of your own action! To this end we will be offering free 30 days membership added to your account upon taking some additional action of your own, See details below! It's important to take direct action when possible as carbon offsets are not perfect. But if everyone does what they easily can, It would make a huge difference. Thanks Everyone! -Joe 30 day free membership climate challenge: To be credited, simply make a real and additional effort due to this challenge (don't tell us about something you already do) and email climate@horseisle.com with your playername (PlayerID also helps) and a brief message explaining what you did to earn the bonus. Options include: + Planting a tree or native flower bed on land you own or get permission. + Riding a bicycle or walking when you would have otherwise driven several times. + Reduce some meat consumption by replacing a few meat meals with veggie alternatives. (Joe's Favorites: hummus, blackbean burritos, & Indian sauces! Chris has veggie shakes for some lunches). + Committing to using reusable grocery bags, or otherwise reducing plastic waste. + Other clearly impactful actions welcome as well. Email by October 1st, 2020 and then we will review and credit soon after! ======================================================================================== For those who are interested in our math, we will share it below for the sake of transparency: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total electricity usage for entirety of HI3 Game: + Our Personal Workstations: 4pcs x 500watts x 12hrs x 280 work days = 6,720kw hrs + HI3 Servers: 3machines x 500watts x 24hrs x 365days = 13,140kw hrs + Past Years HI3 development: roughly above (20,000kwh) x 2.5yrs devel = 50,000kw hrs + ALL HI3 Players: 128k hrs/mo x 12 mo x 250watts avg(50% laptops) = 384,000kw hrs Total: 450,000kw hrs x 200% over estimation to cover networking and misc = 900,000kw hrs (over estimated) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Offsetting that carbon usage: + We decided to go with CoolEffect.org. After research they appear legit and 90%+ of funds go directly to projects. + We used their calculator for power usage and entered 75,000kWh monthly. (900k/12mo) + This resulted in 501 tonnes of carbon needing offset @ $7.78 each TOTAL: $3,897.78 we paid to offset emissions for us and everyone enjoying HI3.
