NMSU's Year of Sustainability - Resources 

‘Green learning’ earns NMSU ICT director technology award

The movement is clear - in the streets by way of hybrid cars, in our homes through solar panels and now in the office via the Internet.

These are all statements of the eco-friendly environmental movement. But how does the Internet fit into green living?

It's all possible through eLearning, a planned teaching/learning experience that uses a wide spectrum of digital technologies to reach learners.

"It's green learning," said Brian Ormand, director of Strategic Relations for Information and Communication Technologies at New Mexico State University. "It cuts down on travel and provides the flexibility that students need."

Less travel means cutting fuel consumption and reducing air pollution...

The Green Library Movement This Movement, comprised of librarians, libraries, cities, towns, college and university campuses committed to greening libraries and reducing their environmental impact.
