    "Thanks for an interesting link. Electronic copies probably are more green, especially on shipping costs, but they are a lot less readable.

    I see that Green IT for Dummies - by a team including analyst Carol Baroudi of the Aberdeen Group - is available in the UK from <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Green-Dummies-Carol-Baroudi/dp/0470386886/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1258966320&sr=8-1">Amazon</a>.

    Another book worth looking for - which has a free electronic version - is <a href="http://www.withouthotair.com/">"Without Hot Air"</a> by Daivd McKay. It's just on green energy, not IT, but puts things into context better than anything else I've seen.

    By the way, this is not the only Green IT for Dummies on the planet. Hewlett-Packard produced one, with the Wiley "Dummies" packaging, which is available free <a href="http://www.hp.com/hpinfo/globalcitizenship/environment/productdesign/greenit4dummies.html">here</a>. The HP version is only 30 pages long, with content produced by David Tebbutt and other analysts from Freeform Dynamics.
