<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black">The relationship between IT and the environment is complex, as IT can have both first and second order effects (Hilty et al., 2006). The first order effect
refers to the negative environmental impact of IT production, use, and disposal. Thus, making the production, use and disposal of IT greener refers to ‘Green IT’ (Murugesan, 2007). On the other hand, the second-order effect refers to the positive impact of
using IT and information systems (IS). Thus, using IS to improve the eco-sustainability of business, social and economic processes refers to “Green IS” (Chen et al., 2008).
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black">The “Green IS” view sees IS as a possible solution to many environmental problems. However, IS scholarship contributing to knowledge about organizations and
environmental sustainability is under-developed. The purpose of the Green IS/IT track is to advance theoretical and practical knowledge in this emerging domain and to gain a better understanding of current industry initiatives and academic research being conducted
on the role of IS in sustainability. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
