IF IT CONSUMES ENERGY, Dave Douglas wants to know about it. Vice president of eco-responsibility for Sun Microsystems, a Silicon Valley company with $13 billion in annual revenue, Douglas oversees all of Sun's environmental efforts. That includes managing the environmental impacts of a 38,000-employee corporation and every one of the products it sells--including computer servers, which run the Web sites, networks, and databases of virtually any corporation or large organization you can imagine. No issue is too small: One of Douglas's recent blog entries fretted over the volume of greenhouse gases emitted in the manufacture and transport of the freebie briefcases he receives at environmental conferences, as well as the planetary effect of traveling to those confabs. "Are sustainability conferences sustainable?" he asked.
