The October issue of University Affairs includes an article on "Watching the watts with green IT". SMU has been working on some of the initiatives that are mentioned in this article, but there are many more things we could do. As the green IT coordinator at the University of Waterloo points out, "The biggest challenge is changing behaviours".
There are some great tips on how to compute green, including printing with a so-called "eco-font", which uses 25% less toner or ink and is perfect for drafts of large documents.
On Friday, November 5, I plan to host a "Reusable Bag Lunch" so we can discuss green initiatives in the classroom (and in our offices!). More information on this will be coming your way via e-mail shortly, so stay tuned!
