How green is IT?  A new tool from JISC is helping universities and colleges calculate just how eco-friendly they are, by estimating the carbon footprint left by their computers. Institutions can work out their carbon emissions by inputting information about the numbers of computing devices into the SUSTE-IT footprinting tool. The tool then estimates the overall amount of electricity used, and the related carbon emissions, to help the institutions target areas for energy saving

BP Carbon Footprint Logo The Carbon Footprint Toolkit from BP teaches students about carbon emissions and their impacts, choices for carbon reduction and alternative energy supplies. The Toolkit includes an interactive carbon calculator, quick-fire activities, factsheets, energy animations, a picture gallery and flexible teachers’ notes.
