Seeing green

I was reading a post by Dennis Howlett “The state of green, 2008” which discusses a recent report “The State of Green Business, 2008“. The aim of the report is to explore the question “How are U.S. businesses doing in their quest to be greener and more environmentally responsible?” and offers a set of indicators to monitor and track progress. These indicators cover areas such as e-waste, energy efficiency, office space and power use and I found that it really helped to put into perspective all of the areas which can be improved.
As an exercise I spent some time reflecting on the information in the report and examining our IT operation and was surprised to see we were already conducting a number of green activities without necessarily realising it at the time - you can read about these in my post “technology and the environment - Green IT“. Obviously these are simply a starting point and the report highlights a number of areas where we might be able to make a greener impact.
Have you started to specifically address green as an issue and if so what activities are your technology department doing to help your business become greener?
