BuddeBlog has some interesting stats about Cisco’s commitment to help save the planet. BuddeBlog, written by Paul Budde of Paul Budde Communication, an Australia-based telecom research and consultancy firm, cites a Cisco official who presented at the Australian Netherlands Roundtable.
* Sixty per cent of Cisco’s carbon emissions is generated by air travel.
* Cisco aims to decrease this by 20% within the next 18 months, by using videoconferencing and building TelePresence facilities around the world. The next Australian Netherlands Roundtable will take place in TelePresence facilities in those countries.
* Cisco is promoting such earth-saving initiatives as traffic managment with RFID installed in cars, location tracking of public transportation, smart meters to reduce CO2 emission.
* Cisco will promote these initiatives in Amsterdam, San Francisco and Seoul, according to BuddeBlog.
It’s good to hear about these initiatives from Cisco. What are the other big IT vendors doing?
