Not that we need to justify our love of tech and the environment, but new data from IDC makes it clear that the concept of green IT is starting to catch on beyond those geeky little enclaves.

We are no longer alone, whoo-hoo!

According to an IDC survey, 80 percent of executives say that green IT is growing in importance for their operation, and 43 percent say they consider a vendor's "greenness" when selecting their suppliers.

That's all; just thought you should know.
