Short clip: State of California's decreasing carbon footprint

Teri Takai, CIO of the State of California, describes the State's 'green' strategy. She says the government is looking at ways to decrease its carbon footprint by implementing more services online which would reduce the need for constituents to drive to State offices.

Background Sounds

>> California is known to be one of the greener states and is -- how much is green and environmental issues a part of your portfolio of activities?

>> Well, it's a major part of our portfolio. We're looking at not only our power consumption as an information technology organization. I think you should know, IT data centers are becoming one of the major power users either in the private sector or in the public sector. So, we're definitely looking now at our large data centers. We're also looking at how we can decrease our power usage in our smaller data centers, and then also even to the desktop. But there's a broader implication in terms of how technology can help the state decrease their carbon footprint just in the way that our employees work and in putting more services out, again to constituents so they have the opportunity to do things online and not necessarily have to drive to a state office in order to be able to interact with us.
