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.
If you have any questions or feedback, please send a message to emeacampaigns@sun.com
