IBM Global White Paper on Benefits of Virtualization Leading organizations are gaining 3 significant benefits by reducing CO2 emissions: 1. Generating revenue2. Cutting costs3. Reducing regulatory risk by emissions reduction leadershipData Centers consume HUGE amounts of power Once a company sets a goal of reducing its carbon footprint, data centers immediately come into focus, as they consume 10 to 30 times more energy per square foot than regular office space, and at the extreme up to 100 times more electricity. IBM is saving $450 million over 5 years -- and 5 billion kWhrs in the 5th year -- by virtualizing the applications from 3,900 distributed servers onto just 33 large servers -- cutting electricity use by >80%, square footage by >85% and licensing costs by >99%!

Jim Harris is was one of the first seven Canadians personally trained by Al Gore to give his An Inconvenient Truth slide show. Since 2006 Jim has presented the material to thousands of people. An Inconvenient Truth is raising awareness of the most important issue of our time: climate change. The movie is now the third highest grossing documentary ever.Former Vice President Al Gore was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his work in this field – along with the UN International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). And the movie won two Academy Awards. Film critics Roger Ebert and Richard Roeper gave the film “two thumbs up”. Ebert wrote: “In 39 years, I have never written these words in a movie review, but here they are: You owe it to yourself to see this film. If you do not, and you have grandchildren, you should explain to them why you decided not to.”On the issue of climate change and peak oil, I have studied with Al Gore, David Suzuki, Rajendra Pachauri, Richard Heinberg, George Monbiot, Colin Campbell, Ray Anderson, Elizabeth May, Jim Hoggan to mention but a few.

"As Executive Director of Fair Vote Canada, I have had the pleasure of working with Jim on a number of projects and campaigns. Jim has been a featured speaker at a number of our national and provincial conferences, always providing an energetic, inspiring and informative presentation. Jim served on the campaign executive of our Ontario electoral reform referendum campaign, providing valuable insight and direction on how best to mobilize supporters and raise money online. In the 2009 electoral reform referendum campaign in British Columbia, he was one of a number of nationally renowned speakers featured at a Vancouver conference and delivered an inspiring and electrifying speech to kick off the campaign. In recent years, Jim volunteered to do fundraising appeals at a number of our conferences. On the most memorable occasion, I had estimated we would be lucky to raise one or two thousand dollars, and Jim proceeded to raise $30,000 from an audience that he rallied to the cause. I can offer nothing but the highest praise for Jim's high energy, enthusiasm and inspirational leadership."

Jim Harris served as leader of the Green Party of Canada from February 2003 to August 2006. Under his leadership the party grew from: * 800 members to more than 10,000 * 100,000 votes in 2000 to 665,000 in 2006 * Less than 1% support in 2000 to a point where 35% of all Canadians had either decided or were considering voting Green* A budget of $25,000 a year to $2.5 million a year* Raising $25,000 per year to more than $25,000 per day in the 2008 election – in which he served as the National Campaign Chair. Jim is credited as being the driving force leading the Green Party to becoming a mainstream party in Canada.He served as the National Campaign Chair in the 2008 election. He was in charge of the strategy that got Elizabeth May into the televised leaders debates. He also raised $1.9 million dollars private loans from individuals to fund the campaign which saw the party win almost one million votes. The Green Party of Canada is fiscally responsible -- in fact more so than the Conservatives and the Liberals. The Greens would not give $2 Billion a year to oil and gas interests -- subsidizing the most profitable industry worldwide. As such the party is more fiscally conservative than the parties on the right. David Suzuki has called Jim a "true conservative" for his work in protecting the planet. Jim is a former member of the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada and Ontario. At the same time the Greens are more socially progressive than the parties on the left. Under Jim's leadership, the GPC supported a guaranteed annual income in Canada. Today more than 1,000,000 Canadian children live in poverty. in 1989 all the old line parties committed to eliminate child poverty in Canada by 2,000. Today more children live in poverty than in 1989. As former leader, Jim presented at the Second Global Green Congress in 2008 in São Paulo, Brazil & the Third Congress in Dakar, Senegal in 2012.
