Since green electronics are all the rage, I had to post this quick note on the new Climate Counts Company Scorecard. Motorola scored at the upper end the spectrum in the electronics category – 60 out of a possible score of 100. To put that number in context, Apple scored a 2. Ouch.
One thing to note. It will be important in the years to come to measure environmental impact beyond the carbon imprint of devices. For example, think about the impact of the services that run on those devices. To deliver those services we’re creating a lot of energy, consuming an awful lot of power, and, no doubt, making a big impact on the environment.
Update: eWeek has a great slideshow up with stats on IT’s power/energy usage.
