I don't want to get into discussion about
Carbon-Neutral and the rest, but
have to say I would worry if we started putting the logo on the WMF
projects, and for one simple reason.
Who is to say why *this* logo should be added? Why shouldn't the logos for
Breast Cancer awareness, Aids awareness, etc be added too? Or let's get
really serious and add the Taiwan flag proclaiming it is entirely
independent of China? or a Basque flag?

Putting a logo or some sort expression on a WMF website is independent from the
issue. This is not about putting logo's on websites but to be aware of the
environment impact of the WMF-projects. And to try include those aspects as a
factor when making decisions like buying hardware to consider the energy
consumption as a factor.
If the WMF would become carbon neutral then that could be included in the
relevant Wikipedia articles and on some page on the Foundation website. I
personally would not mind to show that by putting a logo on the website but
there is no need to do that.
