A “Green Revolution”

Unencumbered by the false meme's of the climate deniers, using that to continue what they managed to stop here in the U.S. some thirty plus years back, the innovation and advances we were once known for. Many are realizing they can become what we once were, an economic power but added to the many benefits that a green economy can offer besides cleaning up our human mistakes of the past. Leaving us here in the States to be followers instead of leaders!

The economic benefits of green IT


April 18, 2011 - During the last decade, growing concerns over the global environment and subsequent effects of climate change blamed on human population boom has led to the establishment of a “green revolution.”

Initially, considered more of a loose movement of environmentalists and academicians, this green revolution literally has grown into a global phenomenon that has finally involved government agencies and private industries where once-traditional operations have been infused with ecologically friendly processes, usually in the form of decreasing expulsion of greenhouse gases and wastewater.

But the green revolution has expanded to different sectors from agriculture, manufacturing and power distribution to water resource management, traffic systems and construction, among others.

These sectors have adopted “green systems” primarily for long-term sustainable development. Such adoption is no longer a way for industrialists to make environmentalists happy but it is one that should enable them to realize the cost-benefits of new, more efficient, and environment-friendly processes.

Based on empirical data from academic and government sources, adoption of eco-friendly green programs could result in positive gains in a country’s economy. {continued}
