ITS Full of Enthusiasm for Going Green!

9 05 2007

The response from within ITS to Rich’s “Green Initiative” announcement yesterday has been overwhelming! Everyone is very excited and full of ideas about how we can green ITS!

 

Many have forwarded news articles. Here’s an interesting one that asserts IT produces as much CO2 as commercial aircraft

(http://news.com.com/Computers+as+environment-unfriendly+as+planes/2100-11392_3-6180528.html?tag=sas.email). Others have forwarded reports, website links, and ideas for new policies. Please feel free to post your suggestions to this blog or send them to me.

 

I’m also very excited to report we will be working with the community to learn how ITS can contribute to the new SustainVU effort (http://www.vanderbilt.edu/sustainvu/ ). There is definitely momentum building among faculty, staff, students, departments and schools to find ways to continue fulfilling Vanderbilt’s mission while protecting the environment and its resources.

Keep the ideas coming!

If we’re really serious about “going green” we should encourage employees to telecommute whenever possible.
