Flurry of Eco coverage while I was gone

Tuesday Jan 30, 2007

Back from my Florida vacation.  I was off but I was on, talking to my parents about the importance of being green. 

Back on the homebase, we had a flurry of press coverage.

Running Wild

Servers have gotten much more powerful in recent years. But they've also gotten hungrier.
 
In 2006, businesses world-wide spent about $55.4 billion on new servers, according to market-research firm IDC. To power and cool those machines, they spent $29 billion, almost half the cost of the equipment itself -- and that number is rising. With the average server system, the customer spends "more on power and cooling over its entire life cycle than what they will spend up front," says Michelle Bailey, research vice president at IDC.

On the Hot Seat

Monday Nov 27, 2006


I am just returning from my turkey comatose.  I shared my green list with a few others and everybody so far likes the idea.


Meanwhile Dave Douglas, Sun's vice president of eco responsibility, was featured in the Boston Globe today.  Concurrently, he  also has a very interesting blog post on the long green tail -- in other words, that small things we do do matter.
