Green Week

I work for an IT Company, which recently had a global address by the CEO. I was surprised that one of the agenda for the IT global address was not Profit/targets/Sales but "Going Green". I was happy at-last our Corporate sector is thinking Big when it comes to contributing its part in global terms. The initiative the CEO discussed was reducing the direct impact on environment, by shutting down a few of the servers. Actual figures are in a few thousand servers, ofcourse they did put on a load balancing before risking :) . They considerably reduced the Carbon Footprint and managed to reduce the power consumption by a huge margin. Going on the same lines, my company professed a practice of "Green Week". This week highlights employee contribution and awareness, by organizing full-day events. The events are aimed to target Paper usage, power usage, Water usage culminating with planting of trees. I think it is absolutely wonderful concept, where the Employer has shown the footsteps, and employees imbibe the green concepts and practice them. I hope it is not just the spurt, but people would carry forward it in their daily life and aid Mother Earth.
