Neon Sumo has officially launched our new site to help announce our expanded environmental focus. We are proud to announce our newest program called “Pro Planet Design.”  Pro Planet Design is a certification offering that guarantees that site’s bearing its mark were created with a sustainable future in mind. It incorporates multiple environmental aspects designed to help web design become more sustainable.  The program also helps provide funds for two charities hand picked to help make the world a better place, Trees for the Future and Reef Check.  We encourage you to see what both programs do for our planet. Luckily, Trees for the Future was kind enough to put this video on YouTube describing some of the great work they do.

We are excited about our new program and hope that you will join us in our efforts to make the internet a more sustainable and hopefully positive force in the world.
