With Earth Day 2007 nearing, the world is taking a closer look at how human activities affect the environment. Some of the technology industry's biggest players have taken the lead in the development of green IT and green technology, from implementing environmentally friendlier office policies to installing more energy-efficient computers.
Especially as Earth Day 2007 approaches, working to mitigate the effects of global warming and greenhouse gases, as well as protecting the environment, are topics on everyone's lips these days. As scientists, politicians, lobbyists and environmental activists offer arguments and counter arguments on the veracity of each other's claims, there is no dispute that the cost of energy continues a troublesome climb as does the size of the world's landfills.
While lawmakers around the world wrangle over car and factory emissions, international treaties, fossil fuels and the promotion of alternative energy, there are simple steps individuals and businesses can take to conserve energy and responsibly recycle their computers and other electronic devices.
