Tech as dirty as aviation - IT Director - Breaking Business and Technology News at silicon.com: "The global IT industry accounts for two per cent of the world's carbon dioxide emissions - the same amount the world's aviation industry churns out, according to analyst house Gartner.

So IT can make a difference here too. (But in the winter, IT energy probably reduces heating expenditures.)
