How will DotGreen help green both business and our planet?

DotGreen demonstrates and presents tremendous opportunity in the growing movement toward strategic partnerships as corporations realize the profitability of teaming up with non-profits, and the profitability of going green in many ways.  Sales of .green domain names will generate a new income stream for The DotGreen Foundation which supports programs and projects of sustainability in all regions of the world -thus adding value to consumers and the businesses they find on the Green Internet. 

While DotGreen is preparing infrastructure, policies, and a landrush of new .green domain names for 2013,  DotGreen’s Early Corporate Adopters take the lead within their industries by preparing for their presence in the new Green Internet of 2013.   Businesses around the world will use their .green domain name and websites to reach their audiences when telling the story of their own journey to sustainability and when describing benefits and progress at various “product.green” websites.  

Purpose of .GREEN

The purpose of DotGreen is to help individuals, communities, and industries go green by promoting the green movement, spreading information, and supporting environmental organizations and projects for the health and future of people and the planet. Shared community experiences such as environmental and climactic events have the potential to affect the entire human population. For the first time in human history, with the ever-expanding reach of the Internet, it is possible for a simultaneous and global green consciousness to develop in real time. DotGreen will give citizens around the world, regardless of cultural or geographic borders, an opportunity to find a path towards sustainability.

Why DotGreen?

Founded in 2007, DotGreen was the first group to propose an environmental top-level domain initiative standing for A Global Response to Environmental and Economic Necessities (.GREEN) among Internet industry and international environmental groups. 

The DotGreen Initiative began in 2007 as the first environmental TLD to be proposed to both Internet and Environmental communities.  The .green initiative was built around a U.S not-for profit organization called The DotGreen Foundation, incorporated in 2008 as a legal For Public Benefit Charity with U.S. 501 (c)3 Tax Exempt Status.  In 2011, The DotGreen Community, Inc. a private corporation was formed in California to grow global community support, raise money, apply to ICANN and hire an experienced team to provide the business, marketing and registry services required for the .green TLD. 

DotGreen is the only environmental TLD registry that will give to hundreds of non-profit organizations aimed at sustainability in every region of the world. More than just a domain name, .green is a meaningful string of letters, recognizable in numerous languages and cultures around the world. The .green TLD will be internationally recognized as a socially responsible brand used by companies, products and individuals. Internationally focused, DotGreen will represent a new TLD designed for the benefit of all.
