So I am making pretty decent progress on my final paper (as I should be the day before its due!!!). I want to use this blog entry to talk about some of the sources I am using other than Slade's book.
The first one I found was from WebEcoist.com and is essentially a description of the history of the 'Green' movement. I believe that a brief history is required in order for me to effectively convey the message of this paper. This article discusses how today's idea of the green movement is actually a culmination of something that has existed for over 40 years. The aspect I like most about this article, which really made me want to include it in my paper, was that is claimed to debunk some of the false information that is generally associated with the green movement. I understand that going green is a big ethics issue and it can be really easy for people to simply write about their opinions, especially in the the cyber-world. This article, I feel will give a nice, objective look at the green movement and will compliment Made to Break nicely.
The next source I am using is called Harnessing Green IT and I found it on the IEEE library database. This is an academic journal entry about efforts put forth in order to make technology a little bit greener. The article acknowledges the points made in Slade's book and offers different approaches for combating this problem. I feel like this source will be a great way to tie the two topics together and provide some sort of conclusion.
I also want to note that you will see Wikipedia in my works cited page. I believe that after completing the midterm project that I have developed practical methods for using information from Wikipedia so I wanted to use it.
At this point I am about 5+ pages into the paper and still have a section and the conclusion to go. I will probably do another blog entry after I finish the paper, which will hopefully be tonight.
