UK telco British Telecom has been working hard to reduce its carbon footprint: Last year the company said it would invest close to half a billion dollars in wind farms, and in February BT installed a solar system for its U.S. headquarters. This morning the company says it plans to reduce its carbon emissions 80 percent by 2020. Ah BT, you put our U.S. telcos to shame. Earth2Tech has the full story.
That’s all well and good, but how about they invest some money into upgrading our 50yr old overhead phone lines.
American companies would never invest in this (ok well Ford has done some similar steps). I’m glad they executed the same practice in their American location as well, we need a good example.
