Green and wired
This weeks eco ventures looks at green Green Data centres as part of sustainable green infocom technology efforts.
Did you know that green ICT takes up about 2% of global energy usage.
While 2% may not sound like much.
But just as Singapore is a small country which can make a big impact globally, that 2% could be significant.
And this can be especially true for the infocom technology sector when you look at how many industries it affects.
Here in Singapore there have been a number of announcements on companies looking to go green with their ICT needs.
For example Fujitsu’s announcement earlier in the year to open a green Data Centre – which is targeting to cut energy usage by 30% in comparison to traditional data centres.
And you know green ICT is getting attention when google search hits on the topic start to exceed 680 million. 
One response so far
I totally agree with you and I saw on channelnewsasia asking viewers to come to your blog to find out more about ACS Independant school winning an award for green IT, however I cannot find the article. Do you think you can send me the link.
Btw, I totally support your view that green ICT takes up about 2% of global energy usage written in a report on global warming. while you are promoting green data centre, I am promoting the use of thin clients instead of energy hungry Personal Computers.
You so cool to be aware of the global warming issues even mentioning about the COPENHAGEN Climate Conference 2009.
Its our last whole before Global warming takes away what mother earth has always given us and we have taken for granted. And that is Green Eco Balance. God Save Us All.
