For once I have a query of my own, rather than a rap on the knuckles, to
post.
Recently I have taken on some responsibility for raising
awareness of environmental issues within the National Museums of
Scotland. One important issue is the amount of paper consumed by the
institution, particularly for the purpose of internal communication
(staff notices, minutes of various groups, etc.). We do not have an
intranet as yet, and I was wondering if any MCG members who do have
access to an intranet have noticed any change in the quantity of paper
they use as a direct result. In fact, what are the environmental pros
and cons, if any?
Any help would be much appreciated. So far my impression is that the
rapid expansion of IT in the last two decades has contributed massively
to environmental destruction worldwide, but I would pleased to hear of
any evidence to the contrary.
