Our work on long-term trends in the efficiency of computing made InfoWorld's "Green 15" list
InfoWorld and CIO Magazine listed me as one of their “Green 15”, the “2012 Superstars of Sustainable Information Technology”. I was the only individual human who made the list, but I’m in good company, along with familiar IT names like eBay, Google, and Facebook, and some big IT users like United Airlines and the US State Department. Infoworld says that those on the list “devised innovative ways to slash waste, save energy, and reduce CO2 emissions.”
It’s nice to have our work highlighted in this way, and it does make a difference, because others who might not have heard of our analysis are then prompted to look it up and get in touch. You can read more about the work in a recent article I wrote for Technology Review, and in the research article itself. You can download the research article if you are at a university and have access to refereed journals online–if not, email me and I’ll send you a copy.
