Meant to say "reduction IN THE USE OF storage resources..."

>What a great question!
I think that since RIM endeavors to have all organizations determine the value of their information, keep only what is of value to them, and then discard even that when it is of no further value, we can say that RIM contributes to the reduction of storage resources no matter what the format of the record.
Maybe the List can start a list of specific things RIM does to contribute to Sustainability.

Subject: [RM] Record Management and Sustainability
What records management initiatives have been successful in promoting environmental sustainability goals?
Does promoting electronic record keeping really promote a sustainable environment or is ECM just replacing less paper with move servers and or computer waste?
