When Goshen College (http://www.goshen.edu) students return to classes this fall in Goshen, Indiana, their desktop computing experience will be very “green.” This summer the college has launched a “Green Desktop” initiative as part of Goshen’s zero carbon footprint goals by ordering 400 energy-efficient Apple Mac minis to replace every campus PC.

“The minis run a mix of Windows 7 and Mac OS X, but more importantly, they consume as little as one-eighth power of the PCs they are replacing,” says Michael Sherer, director of the college’s Information Technology Services.
