Hi all,

It appears that there would be many, many ways to implement responsible,
green-ICT, and, that our ACS could (should?) investigate and disseminate
very widely simple ways to achieve such responsible green-ICT utilization.

For just one example, only today, the choice of fonts .. 


'University Thinks the Right Font Could Help Save the Earth'
 By ZAC BISSONNETTE Posted 8:53 AM 03/26/10 <www.dailyfinance.com>

The University of Wisconsin - Green Bay .. says that printing out 
documents in Century Gothic, rather than its old font, Arial, uses 30% 
less ink.

The move is part of the school's five-year plan to go green -- and save 
money. Printer ink costs about $10,000 per gallon. 

It's possible that if everyone were to start using Century Gothic instead 
of Arial for all correspondence that is printed, meaningful savings could 
be achieved ..
