I wrote a piece about green banking that appears in the  latest issue of Banking Technology. It includes steps being taken by Citi and Bank of America, among others.

So I was amused the other day to get a paper statement from BoA telling me I had a zero balance in my line of credit. And I had to wonder as I walked past Bryant Park in New York and saw the Citi-spnosred ice-skating rink it has sponsored in the park before, heavily used but a little sloppy as the ice struggled to stay frozen in temperatures which reached 60F.

How much energy does that take?
