HSBC is setting aside $100m (£50m) for an initiative to tackle climate change.

The funding by the UK’s largest bank will help charities and environmental groups to research some of the global causes and effects of climate change.

Very cool, corporate social responsibility as a concept continues to gain momentum, HSBC have made the announcement above, I wonder how long it will be for the other banks to follow suit, switching off the PC at night? Follow the sun business to make my IT only be on when I need it for business? A virtual on demand infrastructure following the business day? We’ll see, there are many ways to provide the IT infrastructure whilst managing the climate change demands, whatever works for you and your business is the way forward, whether its low voltage processors, vmware or grid desktop.
