Save Our Earth
Innovation is the way to a cleaner, more energy-efficient economy.
Even in tough economic times, business has an opportunity to make a difference in the world by helping to address urgent issues of energy use and environmental change. Microsoft is committed to this effort.
We’re focused on:
| • | Innovations that will dramatically increase computing productivity with zero net increase in energy consumption; |
| • | Applications and services that will help monitor and reduce greenhouse gas emissions; |
| • | Software that will help conserve power in everything from buildings and transportation to manufacturing and energy grids; |
| • | Support for breakthrough research — by sharing with scientists our expertise, tools, facilities and computing power; |
| • | Reduction in our own company’s environmental impact, including a cut in our carbon emissions by at least 30 percent, per dollar of revenue, over five years. |
We believe today’s environmental challenges represent a tremendous opportunity for innovation — for development of new technologies and smart policies that will preserve and protect the earth for future generations. We’re working to do our part.
