1) The document outlines San Francisco's Green ICT program and four-part plan to measure and reduce the environmental impact of information and communication technologies (ICT) by 24% by 2012. 2) The plan includes building an initial baseline of ICT energy consumption, implementing energy conservation measures like power management and server virtualization, and measuring indirect impacts through projects in energy, buildings, transportation, and health. 3) Results are expected to include reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, waste, and raw materials used, as well as addressing social inequity by increasing access to technology, jobs, education and services.
