Green Tech
Posted by Travis on January 21, 2008Studies show that high-speed internet is cooling the earth. Or something close to that. Read this article I found a few weeks ago on news.com and then get straight to earth cooling!
“How would faster downloads and Web page loads curb the annual flow of globe-warming gases, and by how much? According to the report:Telecommuting, a “zero emission” practice, eliminates office space and car commutes: 588 million tons.
E-commerce cuts the need for warehouses and long-distance shipping: 206 million tons.
Widespread teleconferencing could bring one-tenth of all flights to a halt: 200 million tons.
Downloading music, movies, newspapers, and books saves packaging, paper, and shipping: 67 million tons.”
How bout them apples?

We all know that there is no such thing as global warming Pap T. But that’s still cool.
