The "Dot-Green" Boom?

Bruce Sterling, an author I enjoy, published an article in the Washington Post on Sunday announcing the "Dot-Green" boom. In My Dot-Green Future Is Finally Arriving.", he claims that we're in be beginning of an inevitable movement that will sweep business.

Who knows? Bruce is one bright dude.

We do a lot of thinking about green and sustainable business here at HDS. Take a look at our yearly letter from our president, Vicky Nosbisch, Green Is Good For Business."

We think about what we do, buying, refurbishing, and selling network equipment as an essentially green business. There's very little equipment that comes our way that ends up on the way to being broken down into components for final recycling. Yes, we're a business and we're in this to make money, but we do feel good about what we do. It give us a sense of pride when we take a rack full of unused equipment and send it back into useful life.

We're doing other things towards greener practices, too. We have a project now in place to see if we can largely eliminate the majority of printing and paper we go through. We'll keep you posted on our progress with that over the course of the year.
