WHAT makes humans great? What is that single power, our one unique ability, which no other living being on the planet has?
We conquered the polar ice caps and highest mountains. We touched the ocean floor. We reached the moon.
How did we do it?
We are the most numerous of large creatures on the planet.
Why?
Naturalist Sir David Attenborough, in his book "Life on Earth" (1979), offered an answer: "we are the only creatures to have painted representational pictures and it is this talent which led to developments which ultimately transformed the life of humankind".

In short, we can read and write. No other creature on Earth does this. It began with cave drawings 40,000 years ago. Champion-hunters illustrated how the mammoth must be forced into a canyon walled with high cliffs from which there is no escape. At least four men must be on the clifftop and at least seven men with spears must be on the ground to keep the mammoth trapped while the men atop the cliff kill the mammoth by throwingrocks. Such drawings exist till today in caves from Europe to Siberia and even Indonesia. Then came the hieroglyphs of Egypt and ideograms of China, and came scriptures chiselled into wood found around the world. Next came words printed on paper and then, centuries later, binary codes in diskettes and hard disc drives. Now, it is cloud computing resting on the foundation of the internet. Being able to read and write allows humans to make their knowledge available long after they die so that later generations can learn from it, improve on it. But like every other achievement of humanity, what we do today must be carefully pondered upon so that advancements do not grow obsolete.

This is why MY CO2 conceptualised its own philosophy of Digital Sustainability. How we store, use and retrieve information today must be planned and done in such a way thay it will last as far as possible into the future. Only in this way can the generations after us benefit from what we do today. For this reason, MY CO2 created a broad range of productivity apps that almost any business can adopt into their day-to-day dealings. When the first of MY CO2's operations began in 2006, there was only a shadow of the information technology power available today when MY CO2 made a big decision: include a team ofIT experts into the family; build, grow and maintain a system that moves with the times. This team of engineers plots a path of innovation and change for everyone.
