Do governments need to make IT greener?
http://www.computerworlduk.com/management/it-business/it-department/news/index.cfm?newsid=3674
A Green Technology Initiative research report shows nine out of ten UK businesses think carbon footprint reduction is vital to an overall green strategy, but seven out of ten have no target to reduce their own carbon footprint. The Green Technology Initiative (GTI) asserts that businesses believe in the concept of greener IT but fail to translate that into action. They are looking to suppliers and the Government to carry the responsibility for bringing down emissions.
I wonder if it’s not a mixture of things, that I can buy more energy efficient IT, allows me to save cost and aids the corporate social responsibility message, regardless being more energy efficient is good business, and good for the environment, will need to read up on the Green Technology Initiative report, check out the article it’s an interesting read.

I think most businesses consider the cost aspect – is there sufficient financial incentives for the business to go green be it the supply of green power or reduction in waste. Whilst businesses are getting financially raped on taxes they are not going to go green just because it seen as a good thing that costs a bit more.
