Climate Savers to Promote Green Computing at U-M
U-M's Climate Savers Smart Computing Initiative (CSCI) participants discussed big plans to ensure that the University follows green computing best practices at a kick-off event on March 25 at Palmer Commons. Google and Intel established the CSCI nationally to encourage companies and institutions to cut carbon dioxide emissions. All CSCI members have pledged to implement power-saving computing practices and purchase more energy-efficient equipment.
U-M, one of the founding higher education members, plans to go beyond expectations and make a long-term impact on the preservation of natural resources by growing greener computing practices beyond its campuses. Planned CSCI activities at U-M are to provide small funding
grants to support units pursuing innovative green ideas and to pursue green IT scholarship opportunities.
