How much CO2 is Saved Through Web Conferencing
Typically web conferencing services tout the money that can be saved by using web conferencing to replace business travel. But iLink is also highlighting the environmental savings by is offering a unique tool as part of their software - a green meter! Their green meter is an automatic calculator inside the iLinc Web conferencing software that tracks CO2, in addition to cost and travel reductions accrued by meeting online rather than traveling. The green meter appears whenever you have hold a meeting using iLink. The calculations are based on the location of all of the participants.
Hey, it's actually easy to be green! (Sorry, Kermit!)

Hi. I'm the VP of Marketing for iLinc. We actually don't sell our carbon credits. In fact, for everyone of our customers that saves more than 1 million pounds of CO2 every quarter, we donate $100 to renewable energy sources. Hope this helps to clarify.
