We just posted a note about video conferencing and the recent realization from many companies that it can help the environment significantly. That is of course if the online meetings are being held instead of flying.

The most recent article was aimed at those in the U.S. conducting business in the U.S. I came across an article and statements here on ITWeb in which Patricia quotes Dan Engel, regional sales manager for Israel, Greece and Southern Africa at Polycom.

“It has become an issue for most corporates and enterprises to look at how they act and how they can save the environment,”

Obviously the impact can be exponentially greater if global companies embrace video conferencing and online meetings thereby reducing travel even more.
