Abstract

As computers play an ever-larger role in our lives, energy demands, costs, and waste are escalating dramatically. Green Computing is now under the attention of not only environmental organizations, but also businesses from other industries. In recent years, companies in the computer industry have come to realize that going green is in their best interest, both in terms of public relations and reduced costs. However the IT department is usually always the one department that uses the most amount of power which in turn is an excessive amount of overhead for a business as well as a source for toxic waste. Making IT “Green”. can not only save money but help save our world by making it a better place through reducing and/or Eliminating wasteful practices and using non-toxic materials.
