A Smaller Carbon Footprint Through Less Travel

Video Conferencing significantly reduces carbon footprints and the climate impacts.
Check out these statistics:

-Travel accounts for 14% of CO2 discharge.
-Of the entire carbon footprints of an organization, 50% or more comes from travel, in the case of non-manufacturing companies.

It is clear that if business travel is minimized, carbon footprints can be significantly brought down.

How? Think video conferencing, telecommuting or telepresence.

Video conferencing and telepresence systems make it possible for a business executive or manager to communicate and see his counterpart in another part of the globe, without getting out of his office or home. One can access these systems anytime and anywhere from the boardroom to desktops, from home and even on the road. This means s/he does not need to airdash for every other meeting to increase the CO2 emission.

In 2006, a leading mobile phone company made use of 200 internationally linked videoconferencing systems and was able to avoid 5,520 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions.
