The Green Information Technology
(IT) Strategic Plan
Charles Christopherson, the Chief Financial and Information Officer, set forth a goal for the USDA to reduce several hundred tons of carbon each year, reduce harmful waste, and conserve energy through environmentally responsible use of Information Technology.
The Green Information Technology Strategic Plan is important to the continued preservation of our natural resources and reduction of harmful toxins released into the environment. It is our intention at USDA to be the government-wide forerunner in setting the standard for Green IT practices. This plan outlines success measures, metrics, and examples of sustainable techniques and technologies that any public or private organization can utilize in establishing its own environmental improvement program.
