Where does the Power Go? Network has a small footprint and can reduce overall power requirements
ICT Infra37%
Cooling50%
Conversion Loss10%
Lighting3%
Each watt consumed by IT infrastructure carries a “burden factor” of 1.2 to 2.5 for power consumption associated with cooling, conversion/distribution and lighting

Connected Urban Development
Piloting in three cities: San Francisco, Seoul, Amsterdam.Total investment in this initiative estimated at $15 million. The Amsterdam initiative is expected to save 76K tons of CO2 over five years.
Cisco has launched an initiative that embeds advanced information communication technology in urban infrastructure and management systems in order to reduce global warming.

In San Jose, 74% of the total waste stream is now diverted from the landfill.In our Brussels office, installation of new recycling bins and an employee education program boosted the recycling rate from 40 to 80 percent.At our San Jose headquarters, we are testing a program to sort 100 percent of our office waste to make sure no recyclable materials end up in the landfill.

FACTS
With the waterless urinal projects, we estimate that water consumption will go down by more than 8.5 million gallons per year once installation is complete in 2008.
At our San Jose headquarters, Cisco uses only recycled water for landscape irrigation and fountains, which represents approximately 45% of our total 700,000 cubic feet of water consumption.
In California alone, we are saving more than 81 million gallons of water each year due to our water conservation efforts.
Reducing Water Use
Cisco installed waterless urinals in restrooms at our San Jose headquarters and installed 60 taps with sensors in our Brussels office.
