Learn IT @ Lunch

Technology has many sustainable benefits, such as reduced travel and paper consumption, but it also has an environmental footprint. We'll discuss the impacts of computing, from mountaintop removal to electronic waste, as well as the sustainability benefits. The workshop will focus on personal actions you can to reduce your footprint, including the Duke Green Workplace Certification. Take what you learn home with you to save a few dollars on your next energy bill! http://sustainability.duke.edu/ Learn IT @ Lunch is designed to be an opportunity to learn about technology in a relaxed lunch environment. Each session includes a presentation followed by Q & A. No pre-registration is required. Seating is available on a first come, first served basis. NOTE: Lunch is not provided. Feel free to bring a brown bag lunch.
