Tips to Go green At Work

June 6th, 2009

It is no longer a new concept to go green across all the premises where we tread – be it home or office. From playhouses to pubs, the motto is to cut overuse of energy, water, fuel and waste. From a bigger perspective, it is the nuisance of global warming that has driven this ‘go green’ revolution all over the world and, the workspace, where we probably spend the biggest chunks of our time in today’s busy schedule, needs possibly the greatest attention.

Be it an employee or the employer – anyone would vote for a healthier and relatively more productive workstation with lighter ecological footprint. Far from hiring an MBA or an architect, you can use your own intelligence, creativity, common sense and our valuable tips to run the green machine across the floors:

Optimize energy settings

Set the energy settings of computers and other devices right. It is absolutely must to shut down your computers before leaving for the day as standby mode absorbs power while not in use. Keep the scanners, printers and other peripherals unplugged when they are not needed.

Go digital

Consuming paper means devouring huge amounts of mashed tree pulp, which gets flung into the recycle bin after one or two usages. To avoid such heinous crime of wasting plant pulp when green environment is THE DESIRABLE thing around, try to digitalize all your work in every term. Go for onscreen document review, files on computers emails, instead of paperwork.

Buy the right printer paper

Buy recycled printer paper with the least of chlorine bleaching and a high percentage of post-consumer content. Go for printers and photocopiers, which enable double-sided printing. Reuse package boxes and make use of torn waste paper as packing material.

Make the commute green

Options like carpooling, public transit, walking, or biking, can ease down the strain of traffic gas emission to a certain extent.

Green dress code

Try to pick clothes made with recycled fabric and materials while you buy new ones. Avoid clothes that require dry cleaning, and even if they need it, go for your local “green” dry cleaner.

Use Green Materials

Try to use recycled paper and envelopes, pen and pencils, refillable pens, biodegradable soaps and toilet paper, that have been colored and processed in eco-friendly methods. Also use furniture constructed from recycled materials, incandescent bulbs consuming the least energy and make sure to have good ventilation all throughout.

Progress of Information Technology

May 11th, 2009

It is usually a bothersome task to make predictions from past statistics, but I surely won’t think twice when I say that Information Technology has been and will be on a continuous and guaranteed high for many many years to come. The vast and exponential rate of growth in IT might not have been as fast as reaching the stage of ‘Back to the Future’, but then, it surely has come a long way indeed, promising much more in future.

Ever since the first personal computer was put up for sale, the material, time, space and energy required to generate one unit of IT service has come down drastically. Ray Kurzweil, the modern day guru of digital utopians, believes by 2019 we will have found remedies for most of the critical and fatal diseases and by 2029, we will become demi-gods with minuscule computer chips implanted into our bodies rescuing us from the threats of aging, diseases and energy loss.

I don’t know if Kurzweil has gone over the top in saying all that, but there is, for sure, a perpetual demand for technology-driven business transformation, continuous innovation in the area of technology and technology-based services and products across all sectors. The upswing of Web 2.0 technologies-powered social computing and the constant formulation of novel technologies to create and expand networks are expected to shape the future of Information Technology on the whole. Not to forget the upsurge in green IT or environmental computing.

Hold it! Who says the future of IT is bleak due to the current fall in global economy? IT is very much here to stay and grow.
