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.
