RISE uses 100 percent renewable energy

We strongly believe that nothing - and especially not the entertainment industry - should have a negative impact on our environment. That's why RISE is running it's entire infrastructure including the renderfarm, servers and every single workstation using 100 percent renewable energy, no matter how much more expensive that might be.

Not bad, ey? Just wanted to put that out there...
