Sustainable Networks

It may seem quite a stretch to associate computer networking with environmental conservation issues and so-called "green" initiatives, but a book published this month tries to do exactly that. "The Sustainable Network: The Accidental Answer for a Troubled Planet" is a new O'Reilly title that examines the ramifications of public and private networks becoming an increasingly integral part of our daily lives. The book may not offer too many novel ideas or cover much new ground. However, just about any time spent thinking about sustainability these days is worthwhile. What do you think?
