from my email:-
Did you know that for the developing world to achieve our standard of living, it would require 3 planets worth of raw materials on this planet?
We know that exponential growth cannot go on forever in a finite planet. So we invite you to watch our video where Richard Barrington talks about understanding the environmental challenges of today, the opportunities of tomorrow and the implications of IT from an environmental perspective.

The specific aims of global sustainability, as defined by the Kyoto Protocol, can be summarized as follows (taken from Sustainable Computing by Sun Microsystems, 2005):

- To decouple resource use from economic growth
- To increase the efficiency of primary resource use
- To decrease energy requirements by 4-10 fold
