Sustaining a better world!
Just back from Florida, and I am delighted to see that even though I cannot generate posts when I'm not near a computer, the blogosphere has nevertheless managed to take care of itself without me. Not only that, the blogosphere is saving the world by not meeting face to face: Built in to the iLinc platform, Green Meter detects the locations of people attending a Web meeting, via IP address, and measures the distance between them. It then calculates how much CO2 they're saving by not traveling to meet face to face. This, according to iLinc, allows a company to monitor and track its actual carbon savings.Imagine if someone hooked up the entire blogosphere to the Green Meter! Just think of the hundreds of millions if not billions of face to face meetings the blogosphere has avoided and how much CO2 the blogosphere has saved! If we extrapolate forward and present trends continue, it could be demonstrated mathematically that the blogosphere will have saved the world several times over. Think of the billions of reams of paper -- and the millions of forest acres -- that have already been saved! And just think of the carbon offsets the blogosphere could sell to their beaten down friends in the mainstream media! Why the old media must be turning green with envy! posted by Eric on 02.19.08 at 06:50 PM |
