Benefits of going green
Future potential:
Forward-thinking companies gain competitive advantage. Current situation:
Mainstream Institutions focus on distance learning and cost savings
Past:
Niche focus
Technology has potential to bridge
this gap
Who is the Most Green?
DON’T ASSUME YOU KNOW
Which country? – China topped all countries
• 67% prefer to purchase from a green company• 84% want to work for one
Which demographic?
– Green attitudes cut across gender, age, region, socio-economic groups
– Customers and workers are anywhere and everywhere
Reducing Emissions by Reducing Travel
Per mile, air travel is about three times more harmful to the environment than road travel.
25% of air polluting emissions are caused by motor vehicles on the roads
The Remote Teacher
Concerns– Teacher & Student relationship – Federal agencies encourage 25% of workers to telecommute, but only a small percentage do.
“Off-site” Doesn’t Have to Mean “Out of Sight” – Visual telecommuting programs build trust– Maintain “hallway” interaction

Green Meter: Distance Learning• Green Meter tracks the
environmental impact of distance learning programs.
• Global Knowledge prevents more than
4.4 million points of CO2 /month.• 20 pounds of CO2 equals burning
one gallon of gasoline.• Global Knowledge saves more than
200,000 gallons of gas per month.
Increasing Green Demand• 35 percent of organizational travel
departments now require carbon emissions information be provided, up from 20 percent in 2006,
• 36 percent reported reduced travel as a measure for supporting sustainability, up from 23 percent a year earlier.
• Distance Learning supports both requirements
Survey by the Association of Corporate Travel Executives
10 Green Things To Do Today• 1. Turn off equipment when it's
not being used. This can reduce the energy used by 25 percent; turning off the computers at the end of the day can save an additional 50 percent.
• 2. Encourage online distance learning and online communications cut down on travel and emissions. Reading email messages onscreen should be favored over printing the messages out.
• 3. Reduce waste by using a fax-modem and by using a fax cover sheet only when necessary. Fax-modems allow documents to be sent directly from a computer, without requiring a printed hard copy. Even better consider switching to an online digital fax service like http://www.faxdigits.com that sends fax messages to your email allowing you to read them digitally without printing out at all.
10 Green Things To Do Today• 4. Produce double-sided
documents whenever possible.
• 5. Do not waste water; always close water taps tightly after use. (One drop wasted per second wastes nearly 2,700 gallons of water per year.)
• 6. Install displacement dams Placing one or two plastic containers filled with stones [not bricks] in the toilet's reservoir will displace about 1 gallon of water per use- a huge reduction of water use over the course of a year.
10 Green Things To Do Today• 7. Use only maximum
available recycled content paper.
• 8. Choose suppliers who take back packaging for reuse.
• 9. Buy Local. The further your supplies or service providers have to travel, the more energy will be used to get them to you.
• 10. Buy Used and Refurbished Office furniture/equipment.

Organizational Trends
Trend is Clear 32.9% of institutions increased
collaboration tools usage due to carbon impact concerns
28.1% have a carbon emissions policy
26.3% say carbon policy is coming in next year
“…the next several years will see a deepening of the necessary tools and understanding.”
Wainhouse Research, August 2007
25Going Green
“To reduce our air miles, we have made a substantial investment in phone and video conferencing and now have new or upgraded facilities in all of our major offices. Last year we were able to avoid 1.1 million miles of travel through use of telesuite facilities, thereby avoiding the emission of 198,000kg of CO2.”
- PWC Corporate Statement
“The initial investment is easily justifiable, ultimately increasing productivity. It’s not only protecting the environment, but is common sense for businesses to adopt.” - David Rowe, CEO, Easynet
