"The Green IT discussion has moved on from ‘save the planet’ to ‘save the organisation money’, with the common denominator: use less energy" - says an Information Age review of different surveys reported here.
The world’s use of IT and communications systems contributes 2% of global carbon emissions, and Green IT’s most publicised polluter, the data centre, contributes about a quarter of these emissions. The manufacture – and disposal – of IT infrastructure also contributes significantly to global carbon emissions.
