 Higher Utilisation
Most computers run at low load/utilisation rates most of the time. We get more computing done out of the same capacity.

 

 Efficient equipment
Efficient equipment can reduce environment impact (principally electricity consumption) by up to 40%.

 

 Clean Electricity
High connectivity reduces the importance of location. Choosing a location with a greener electricity grid is the single biggest factor in reducing the environment impact of computing.
