“The Environment and Sustainability” is one of Stanford’s top initiatives, and reducing our own green house gas emissions is an important element of Stanford’s mission. With Computing and IT equipment using nearly 15% of the campus’ annual electricity needs, focusing on Sustainable IT is an important path to reducing overall green house gas emissions.
