Bits to save the planet

The Climate Group released a report on the high-tech industry’s potential to either contribute to global warming, The report – SMART 2020: enabling the low carbon economy in the information age.

The report is the world’s first comprehensive global study of the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) sector’s growing significance for the world’s climate. With demand for electronic equipment rising as the world becomes connected, this challenge is only going to become more apparent. Through increasingly more energy-efficient facilities, data centers and products, the IT industry can save a bundle in energy costs and do its bit to save the planet.
