Yahoo has revealed plans to be carbon neutral by the end of the year by backing hydro power in Brazil and wind energy in India. The internet giant is following through on a promise it made earlier in the year to offset an estimated 250.000 metric tonnes of greenhouse gases spewed as a result of power used by the California-based firm. That's the equivalent of 35.000 cars off the road for a year or shutting down the Las Vegas strip for two months. Many Silicon Valley companies have announced they are going "green" with earth-friendly programs and practices.
