The efforts of IBM and many others are making a positive difference from many perspectives. Ideally before, by and beyond 2020 positive actions of Green, Social Responsibility, Humanitarianism, Professionalism and so on (e.g., One million acts of kindness), will reach unimagined dimensions of intrinsic and pervasive joy, peace, goodness, greatness and love thanks to all who are interconnected by software, technology and the sharing of information, ideas and progress. Thank you for each step you take for you and others in a positive forward thinking open minded direction. Merry Christmas and many Happy New Years!

Cisco, Inherent Quality, CBC, One Million Acts of Green

If you’ve not already, visit this site: One Million Acts of Green. Taking no credit, simply sharing awareness and reiterating that a journey of many miles begins with a single step, yours! Thank you for all you do. Well done CBC (and all who are related including Cisco).  

Before, by and beyond 2020, perhaps the acts which in various ways are positive and make a difference intrinsically and pervasively relative to quality, value, excellence, simplicity, and social responsibility will be well into the billions (and of benefit to all within the present and future generations).

Merry Christmas and many Happy New Years!

Subject: Aeroplan Green It Up

Hi Ron,

My name is Meighan, a consultant from iStudio Canada (www.istudio.ca) contacting you on behalf of Aeroplan (www.aeroplan.com).  I’m contacting you about your blog, VIIP beam it up, so I hope contacting you through info@inherentquality.com is alright. You  posted almost a year ago on Aeroplan’s Green It Up program, with some positive and thoughtful comments on how these initiatives can impact both the IT industry, and the future of the environment. On Friday, December 5, Aeroplan will celebrate the one-year anniversary of Green it Up, a program that enables members to use Aeroplan Miles to buy carbon offsets and offset the emissions generated by their reward travel and everyday activities. To increase the environmental benefit, Aeroplan matches member contributions by an additional 20%.  This Friday, however, to encourage members to take action to reduce the collective impact on the environment, Aeroplan, along with its Green Coalition of Partners: American Express, CIBC, and Avis will each match all miles redeemed for carbon offsets up to 50%. 

Aeroplan does not generate any revenue from the Carbon Offset Program or Green It Up and to help understand the effect, if 2,000 Aeroplan Members each redeem 7,500 miles to purchase carbon offsets, the combined impact would be equivalent to:

-          Taking 3,500 cars off the road for one year

-          Burning 8.25 million fewer litres of gasoline

-          Countering the emissions created by 1,700 homes

In terms of digital assets, you can share with your readers, friends and online community members the following links: 

1.       The main Aeroplan Green It Up program page (which you might already know about)

www.aeroplan.com/offset

2.      Information on the Carbon Reduction Fund and projects.

www.carbonreductionfund.com

We want Aeroplan members and the public to know that they can offset their carbon impact when using air travel in a meaningful way.  Drop a line if you need more information or if this is a topic you are interested.

Best, Meighan Szigeti
