Green IT

Could you believe it a group focussed on encouraging the green revolution in IT. If I’m not wrong this is the first group of it’s kind that I’ve seen around the world.

The Green IT Special Interest Group (SIG) is an independent, not for profit organisation that is empowered through a volunteer organisation of professionals and through the broad support of industry associations.

The Green IT Special Interest Group works with ICT Professionals and clients of ICT services to address today’s sustainability challenges and identify solutions for a better tomorrow.

The ACS Green IT Special Interest Group (SIG), chaired by Phillip Nyssen, ACS Qld Board Member, started in Brisbane this year. Its role is to drive IT industry awareness, knowledge and adoption in response to climate change and carbon accounting.

I think this is an extremely interesting group doing good in their own Green way Love it.

Is your group doing more than IT stuff? If you are I’d love to hear about it.
