Envirodigital

That which is unsustainable cannot go on. Unsustainable things that are propped up too long snap and collapse suddenly. Our way of life is unsustainable. The sooner we transform our economy into one that can generate sustainable prosperity, the better off we’ll be, and with every passing day, the risks of catastrophe grow larger and more certain. We need change now!

Envirodigital helps organisations create truly economically and ecologically sustainable digital developments. We believe that getting digital can facilitate getting greener. Founded in 2008, by Hannah Rudman and Alan Blunt, Envirodigital is a full service change management agency for sustainable digital developments, based in Edinburgh, Scotland.

Envirodigital inspires organisations to be greener by "getting" digital. Building sustainable ability by using green IT, and digital solution, ensures that carbon, waste and water outputs are reduced - keys to 21st century resilience. We're about creating steps to get you started and designing change routemaps to get you to your end goals.

One of the digital solutions we recommend is eventcasting: increased numbers of audience can experience the event without travelling. Envirodigital is thrilled to present an eventcasting solution that is greener than other solutions on the market because its a dynamic bandwidth solution – it uses the bandwidth available at the venue and at the users end, rather than demanding more, so energy is saved, and carbon footprint of the eventcast is reduced. We’re currently working on the ability to calculate the carbon footprint you saved - from not travelling to the event!

Check out the eventcast we produced for AmbITion and the Arts Marketing Association, of John McGrath of National Theatre Wales, speaking to 200 folk on 30.11.09 live at Sadlers Wells, and 71 online!

Envirodigital was appointed in 2009 to develop and implement an environmentally sustainable digital strategy that National Theatre Wales, a new, national, virtual arts organisation would require to thrive. Read more about how NTW established and grew Envirodigital Communities; launched its programme online to reduce the press release carbon footprint - a live webcast was the solution; and developed sustainable ability.
