Going Green, Saving Green

"Public and private schools alike are realizing that going green is a no-brainer.” According to http://www.buildinggreenschools.org/, “If a green school saved $100,000 per year in operational costs, that's roughly enough to hire two new teachers, buy 200 new computers or purchase 5,000 new textbooks.”



In this digital age, the idea of going green seems almost impossible. The use of computers and interactive technologies is essential for exciting and engaging teaching. The downside is that it's a major contributor to electricity bills and carbon footprint. The hardware also takes large amounts of energy to produce and dispose of. RM is balancing these issues with products that reduce paper & power consumption, leave a smaller carbon footprint and can be produced, delivered, and maintained more efficiently.
