Green IT

So this past week we had a guest speaker that discussed the theory of “Green Information Technology.” This technological tool is seen in a lot of electronic devices we use today. If you have seen any device with the energy star logo on it then you have seen a device that promotes Green IT. The guest speaker also mentioned the Tellus Science Museum located in Cartersville Georgia. He discussed a house that was built by Georgia Tech students during a solar decathlon. The house utilizes solar panels and a water reclamation system of which are just a few key components to make this house self-sufficient. You can read more about the Solar House on the Tellus Science Museum’s website or here on the Georgia Tech website. Years ago my daughter was able to visit the Tellus Science Museum for a summer camp field trip. While there she was able to tour the house. I recall now that she had mentioned the house after the field trip and how interesting it was. Although I have never been to the Tellus Science Museum, I plan on making a trip there with my son possibly even this weekend. Maybe you should plan a trip of your own as well.
