Web conferencing is gaining traction as an easier way to do business. Rather than wasting time by travelling these services make it possible for businesses to network and save time, money and reduce their impact on the environment. iLinc takes green one step further by including a patent pending Green Meter that can calculate just how much CO2 your company is not putting in the air by electing to avoid trains and cars and instead stay put and use the web conferencing service.
The iLinc Green Meter has a type of automatic calculator inside the software that tracks CO2, cost and travel reductions gained by meeting online rather than traveling. An invaluable tool if you’re looking to green up your business. An example on iLinc’s website shows the State of Arizona reduced its carbon dioxide emissions by more than 761,000 pounds. That equates to 180 cars taken off the rod and 126,000 gallons of gasoline saved. That’s just one company in one state. PC Magazine said the Green Meter is “one of the top 10 ways to save the planet.”
iLinc does not offer any features to reduce energy consumption. However, one could argue that the lack of devices needed in travelling, cut out by using this program, saves energy in the long run.
iLinc is a web conferencing service for small/medium businesses that tries to create a collaborative environment. iLinc offers countless interactive feedback tools like participation meters, polling, hand raise and other chat features, which give it an online learning and classroom bend more concentrated than other programs. And, with native Mac compatibility, hosts and audience participants alike experience the same video, audio and on-screen information as Windows users, including remote support and keyboard shortcuts.
With the Green Meter, iLinc web and video conferencing is not only helping you cut down on your carbon footprint, but it gives you an extra boost by showing you exactly how much carbon dioxide you didn’t put in the air by choosing to meet online rather than face to face.
