Dear Elaine, Two percent of global greenhouse gas emissions are currently attributed to IT operations.  That does not include power drains from consumer electronics in homes.  "Green IT" efforts to reduce those emissions are increasingly important strategically to all kinds of organizations and efforts. Additionally, ICT is a key strategic element of efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in most industries. "Smart Grid" are efforts to integrate sensors, controls and information systems into electricity distribution systems to make them more efficient and reduce associated greenhouse gases.  "Smart Buildings" are efforts to integrate sensors, controls and information systems into building management systems to make them more efficient and reduce associated greenhouse gas emissions.  "Smart Transportation" are efforts to integrate sensors, controls and information systems into traffic management and control systems to make them more efficient and reduce associated greenhouse gas emissions... Green ICT is a set of values, goals and efforts to use ICT to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions, and Green ICT is increasingly a part of the mindset and jobs of many ICT workers. Following is information on a free Green IT workshop at Mission College in Santa Clara, CA on April 26th, 2012, from 6 to 9pm.
