Green Computing


What I know about the topic. Absolutely nothing.

Two Questions About Topic.
  1. What ate the basics of Green Technology?
  2. How is it important for today's world?
Useful Links

What I learned
  • Computers have added a great amount of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere.
  • They use a lot of energy and the energy plants are suffering.
  • Also, the disposal of computers are harmful for the environment. 
  • Many companies such as Green PC sell refurbished and recycled computers.
  • There are a list of things you can do in order to help Green Computing (turning off the system when not in use, using energy saving methods.etc.)
How it relates to my life

I use computers all the time, and the computer in my house is almost always turned on. Since I use it so often, I may have a low amount of green computing. After seeing all the effects of green computing, I will try to reduce the amount of energy I use with my computer. This involves many different techniques such as the ones I told in the last point of the "what I learned" part.

Remaining Question

In our search for the sustainable world, wouldn't it be better to create less energy consuming computers or any other methods of green computing?
