Ecology through IT

Increasing energy costs are impacting businesses globally. These rising costs impact almost all aspects of organizations operations. IT Organizations are representing with the government on comprehensive energy policies to include strong provisions for energy conservation and alternative fuel development, greater energy independence, increase in R&D funding, lower environmental impact, and better awareness of energy resources.
There are inter-industry coalitions and initiatives aimed at developing immediate and long-term strategies for a comprehensive energy policy framework and industry-led innovation for greater energy efficiency.
The IT industry contributes by achieving greater energy efficiency in its products, and these innovations in IT enable greater energy savings throughout all sectors of the economy and also through its commitment to responsible corporate energy conservation programs.
