OpenEco.org

It describes itself as: …free, easy-to-use tools to help participants assess, track, and compare energy performance, share proven best practices to reduce greenhousegas (GHG) emissions, and encourage sustainable innovation.

http://www.microsoft.com/green/

I wonder how green the site itself is? It would be interesting to learn if Microsoft took any special effort to green the hardware and other aspects of this particular site.

But, you do get credit from the partnered retailer.  The two recycling firms are mentioned but not linked in the article. This is the only website I could find for EcoNow. But, it doesn’t look like the right one. I found this for TechForward though. And, it looks like the right site.

Building a Green Data Center

That led me to find his blog… Green Data Center Blog and an article in TechNet… Build a Green Data Center.

It’s big picture type of news (trends, directions, etc.) vs. this blog which is more of a little picture (personal tech) :-)

Thoughts from the Raise Floor

…blog today although it has been around since February 2005. Lewis’ position with Microsoft is strategic infrastructure architect and evironmental evangelist (say that 3 time fast!) and essentially focuses on green data center issues. He is not a high volume blogger with an monthly blog output of about one (Oct. 2007 was skipped over completely). However, the blog entries he has made are detailed and insightful. I just added his blog feed to my feed collector.

…site up.  It asks for your ZIP code, how you cool your home, how you heat your home, and what type of water heater you have. Then, it provides some advice to optimize. However, it does NOT take into account that some homes have may not have one or more of those compoments. Sigh.
