Green Your IT
This just showed up in my inbox. On Tuesday at 3:00 pm, C.I.T.I. is hosting a workshop on how you can reduce your impact with smart technology use. They'll be talking about measuring technology and energy use, green website hosting, and the environmental benefits of some clients. This is a series of workshops, so if you can't make this one keep an eye out for the next one!
