It's time to save energy and money.
I found a great article from Ted Samson over at Sustainable IT that you should read - and then forward to your IT department.
Mr. Samson has compiled a laundry list of facts that will enlighten you on a variety of issues, as well as go a long way towards reducing your organization's energy consumption and carbon emissions.
Some highlights include:
#9
The feds could save around $960 million over five years by adopting green technologies like virtualization, server consolidation, and dynamic smart cooling.
#15
Companies can save between $25 and $75 (or more) on power bills per PC per year by powering down machines when they're not in use.
#21
If all commuters worked from home just one day a week, 5.85 billion fewer gallons of oil would be used each year.
Check out this article along with the rest of Mr. Samson's blog. Not only will you be doing the environment a favor, you'll help your organization's bottom line.
