About

Green computing, or green information technology (IT), refers to environmentally sustainable computing. It is the study and practice of using computing resources efficiently by designing, manufacturing, using, and disposing of computers, servers, and associated subsystems (such as monitors, printers, storage devices, and networking and communication systems) with minimal or no impact on the environment.

 

The goals of green computing are similar to green chemistry i.e., reduce the use of hazardous materials, maximize energy efficiency during the product's lifetime, the recyclability or biode­gradability of defunct products and factory waste.
