The 11-11-11-11 Initiative

Do you have any redundant emails, files or photos lying around in the virtual world? Are you aware that what we store in server farms consumes around 1.5% of the world’s electricity? Whilst it is true that back-up files as well as information you need are important and should be kept well, it’s time to get rid of those duplicated or old-version files, emails, and photos!

ICIS invites you to join the 11-11-11-11 Initiative to clean up your invisible waste in the virtual world on this year’s Sustainability Day, 11 November 2011, at 11:00.
