Green Computing - It IS easy being Green!

Abstract:

Colleges and Universities are undertaking a recent trend toward becoming less wasteful of our natural resources. Unfortunately, computers often have a negative impact on our environment. Yet, there are many easy things we can do to reduce the carbon footprint of our technology. The ideas presented in this session will not only make your institution more ecologically responsible, but can also drastically reduce operating costs. The session will focus on specific examples of how Sweet Briar College is actively pursuing green computing techniques, such as: a CD/DVD recycling program; power management settings; energy conscious purchasing decisions; and much more! Time will be left at the end for questions/discussions.
