Listen to Fresh Dialogues with Anna Jaeger, TechSoup

I caught up with Anna Jaeger, Director of the GreenTech Program at TechSoup Global, during  The Green Enterprise UnConference at The Computer History Museum in Mountain View, December 3, 2008. San Francisco-based TechSoup partners with many leading tech companies like Microsoft, Adobe and Cisco to put technology in the hands of nonprofits; and Anna is spearheading its efforts to educate organizations to reduce their environmental impact through effective use of technology.  Our discussion includes:

Best “green” office practices

Software as a service (SoaS): e.g Google Apps –  Docs, Video, Gmail

Virtualization

Thin clients/ dumb terminals

Second Life online collaborations

Cisco’s WebEx

Forum One’s UNconference concept

Note: Another excellent source of best green business practices, just launched this month, is at the Environmental Defense Fund’s new online resource, The Innovation Exchange where you can find information about running a carbon neutral office.
