Computers and other types of IT equipment are being blamed for emitting as much CO2 as the airline industry.

The taskforce is trying to get companies to move certain functions like email and internet to big, energy efficient servers, thus cutting down on resources by 75%.

It's weird to think one little personal computer can do so much damage, but if everyone feels like they're not doing that much to hurt the environment and continues to pollute, those individual contributions add up. It's tricky like that!
