Green IT?

Written by admin on Sun 5th Jul, 2009

A majority of public sector employees do not know about environmentally friendly IT targets set out in government's Greening ICT Strategy. The strategy calls for government IT to be carbon neutral by 2012, with office carbon emissions down 11.5% by 2011.

Mixed results for green IT goals

Does your ICT strategy look at green issues, saving power used by IT can save you money.

  • How much does a desktop computer use when left on overnight?
  • Are Mobile chargers left plugged in when not in use?
