Green IT for the Home?

Typically when you hear about Green IT it is all about virtualization, power and cooling savings, reducing the carbon footprint etc…  But did you know that there is a lot more you can do everyday to be more green?  Since it is Earth Day I thought I’d share some of these tips I found on the https://www.microsoft.com/athome/default.mspx newsletter.

• Reduce your environmental impact with OneNote - Capture all your e-mail, notes, documents, and Web pages in a single, paperless location.

• Lost and wasting gas? - Mapping programs help you find the easiest routes to meetings and appointments with the same precision you orchestrate your family trips.
