1. Our Safety Net to a Train Wreck Computing Companies Going Green By Aaron Sobetski

2. OUR WORLD IS FAT (Or at least most of it) Not only America is lazy or fat Environment is neglected The world is a place of nonstop pollution Plastics, papers, etc. are turned into pollution One large area of the pollution is in technology Waste time on video games/electronics Waste resources on devices

3. How does this apply to technology? Companies are using/inventing better products EX.: Apple, GE, GOOGLE Using new types of energy/materials SOLAR ENERGY, RECYCLED MATERIALS, ETC.

4. GE Energy Efficient Ecomagination Top products: LEAP Engine (Aviation), GE Power & Water's Jenbacher Gas Engine GE Power & Water's Jenbacher Gas Engine is providing power for BMW’s massive manufacturing plant in Regensburg, Germany.

5. Data centers us 50% less energy Committed over $1 billion in renewable energy products Ex.: Windmills, solar panels, etc. Implement walking instead of driving Google maps

6. Apple Monitor the environmental footprint All Apple data centers are: 100% green Use only renewable energy Reuse parts from old computers Recycle everything!

7. Safety Net? These companies are our “safety net” for now They are trying To stop pollution To encourage getting fit These companies are not fat or lazy
