We’re all doing our part to help the planet last longer, but are we doing enough?

A recent article on GreenerWorking.com reminded me of the “hardware” side of the equation. In addition to paperless processes, document management and virtual office/SaaS solutions, “sustainable computing” involves extending the lifecycles of desktop and laptop computers.
