We've Got To Stop Meeting Like This

WE'VE GOT TO STOP MEETING LIKE THIS THERE ARE MANY ENVIRONMENTAL THREATS TO THE WELL-BEING OF THE PLANET, AND / HUMANS. THE MOST RECENT REPORT OF THE INTER GOVERNMENTAL PANEL ON CLIMATE CHANGE (IPCC) STATES THAT CLIMATE CHANGE RELATED TO INCREASING EMISSIONS OF 'GREENHOUSE GASES, ESPECIALLY CARBON DIOXIDE, IS ONE OF THE MOST SERIOUS. RESTRICTING THE FORECAST INCREASE IN AVERAGE GLOBAL TEMPERATURE TO 2-24 DEGREES WILL REQUIRE A REDUCTION IN GLOBAL EMISSIONS BY 80-90% IN 2050, RELATIVE TO 1990. CARBON DIOXIDE TRANSPORT ACCOUNTED FOR 24% OF CARBON DIOXIDE EMISSIONS IN THE UK IN 2012 ALL OTHER GREENHOUSE GASES A MAJOR MEANS OF REDUCING TRANSPORT-RELATED CO2 EMISSIONS WOULD BE THROUGH SUSTITUTION OF BUSINESS AIR TRAVEL BY AUDIO, VIDEO, WEB AND OTHER CONFERENCING TECHNOLOGIES, FOR EXAMPLE: A STUDY ON BUSINESS TRAVEL IN A RECENT ANALYSIS OF THE ROLE OF EUROPE CONCLUDED THAT SUBSTITUTING ICT IN AUSTRALIA'S SUSTAINABLE 5-30% OF CURRENT AIR TRAVEL BY DEVELOPMENT CONCLUDED THAT VIDEO VIDEO CONFERENCING COULD AVOID CONFERENCING COULD AVOID 2.4 MILLION TONNES OF CO2 EMISSIONS, 5.59-33.53 MILLION EQUIVALENT TO 0.43% OF THE TONNES OF CO2 EMISSIONS ANUALLY. COUNTRY'S TOTAL. 25KG CO2 25KG CO2 HALF A MONTHS WORTH OF NON-STOP VIDEO CONFERENCING 100 KM OF TRAVEL BUSINESS BENEFITS OF VIDEO CONFERENCING AVOID NEGATIVE GAIN COMPETITIVE PUBLICITY AVOID HIGH SAVE INCREASE TRAVEL COSTS TIME PRODUCTIVITY ADVANTAGE BROUGHT TO YOU BY: PRODUCED BY: ICP networks ATTWOOD EDIGITAE HTTP://WwW.GREENBIZ.COM/SITES/DEFAULT/FILES/DOCUMENT/WWFBINARYITEM11938.POF HTTP://WwW.BRIGHTHUB.COM/ENVIRONMENT/GREEN-COMPUTING/ARTICLES/15387.
