Hi all... I just posted an article to the news section about online degrees and their impressively low carbon footprint. I'd love to get some feedback on the idea. The article is here (I'm the editor, not the author): http://www.worldwidelearn.com/education-advisor/indepth/save-the-world.php

Doyou guys think this is a viable topic in the environmental community? Online degrees still have a bad rap in many places, but it's undeniable that they use considerably fewer resources, and quality is increasing as they get more popular.

If you were going (back) to school, would you consider studying online if it meant reducing your impact? Should the government offer tax or tuition incentives for students who choose online degrees? Should environmental organizations be promoting this option as a way to increase educational access in a sustainable way?
