Take the Green Line: Data Center – The Hidden Pollution

@ Goethe-Institut Chicago

150 N Michigan Ave Ste 200, Chicago, Illinois 60601

Opening Thursday, July 21st, at 6PM

On our own PC, can we choose to use less polluting routes and datacenters? What “green” solutions can we imagine? And conversely is there a risk to see low-cost datacenters establish in emerging countries such as India or China where environmental regulations are more accommodating?
