IT’s impact on the Environment

I had a chat with a colleague who wanted to understand more about how IT impacts environment, specifically around Microsoft’s Unified Communications story. I picked around our internet site a bit and dug this up:

Reduced Environmental Impact

Reduce the amount of fuel required for travel on airplanes, trains, and rental cars by using Microsoft Unified Communications for online meetings or training. Even its built-in VoIP helps the environment because universal serial bus (USB) phones use less power than conventional phones.*

> How Unified Communications Helps the Environment

> Volvo Reduced CO2 Emissions 900 Tons a Month with Unified Communications.

This is just the Microsoft story, I’m sure other vendors have theirs. To learn more about how we're looking at the environment, please look here:
