The 21st Century Office: A low carbon economy and transformative change

Thanks for the reply, Dennis. I still doubt the 2% - depends on what all is counted in. Also, just that you know, a movement called Green Office in Finland is often regarded as bogus by employees. It's like greenwash of the organization, it often seems. Like those multiple lines at the email footer: "don't print this email - think of the environment". I like short and concise. But as I said - I liked the style and editing of the video.

This movie's brilliantly edited and I like its approach of showing the underlying "hidden sins". However, I believe I'm already very much jn the "21st century office" world. IT, computers. What the movie does not touch is the ability for shared usage, s.a. office hubs. To me, it's brilliantly done short movie which is ... a bit outdated in contents.

Also, there are hidden CO2 emissions involved with Internet as well. The movie simply ignores that inconvenient side.

@akauppi2 Thanks

My take: In the best case shared office space is a bridge to a true 21st Century office where the laptop/mobile device is the "office", worst case it is a distraction. Many still have a hard time getting away from the idea of an office as a physical space so maybe we should have mentioned shared office to make it easier for people to follow the thinking.

The ICTs own emissions are mentioned at 3:21. We spent 2% of the time in the video discussing the 2% impact of ICT.... ;)
