Corporate Citizenship at Nortel A talk for the Science Center World Congress June 2008, Toronto April Dunford, Director Business Development, Nortel

We live in exponential times

Worldwide Internet traffic in 2000…

… now equals traffic created by YouTube alone

In Feb 2007 MySpace had 64.4 million unique visitors… equivalent to the population of France

Half of the world’s population has a mobile phone

2/3 of all mobile phone users are from developing countries

India and China are adding 12 million new phone subscribers per month….. each

In 2008 the number of text messages sent will exceed 2 trillion

What is the environmental cost?

Information Technology’s carbon footprint equals that of the airline industry

… and is growing 4X faster

A Sony Playstation 3 consumes 5X more energy than a medium sized refrigerator

70% of toxic waste in landfills is electronic waste
