- 4. What is E-waste or Electronics waste Electronic waste, or E-Waste , is a term for electronic products that have become unwanted , non-working or obsolete , and have essentially reached the end of their useful life. Electronic waste is not just waste, it contains some very toxic substance, such as mercury , lead , cadmium , arsenic , etc. The toxic materials in electronics can cause cancer, reproductive disorders, and many other health problems, if this waste stream is not properly managed.

- 14. GREEN COMPUTING
- 15. Green Computing , also called Green technology , is the environmentally responsible use of computers and related resources. It is the practice of using computer resources efficiently. Designing manufacturing , disposing computers , servers with no impact on the environment. To reduce the use of hazardous materials , thus maximizing energy efficiency during product’s lifetime. What Is Green Computing?
- 16. Reduce use of hazardous materials. Maximize energy efficiency during the product’s lifetime. Promoting RECYCLABILITY of defect products and factory waste. Goals of Green Computing
- 17. Approaches towards Green Computing Green disposal: Re-purposing an existing computer or appropriately disposing of, or recycling, unwanted electronic equipment. Green design: Designing energy efficient computers , servers , printers , projectors and other digital devices. Green manufacturing: Minimizing waste during the manufacturing of computers and other subsystems to reduce the environmental impact of these activities. Green Use: Minimizing the electricity consumption of computers and their peripheral devices and using them in an eco-friendly manner.
- 18. Tips For Green Computing Use sleep mode when away from a computer for extended periods. Use flat-screen or LCD monitors , instead of conventional cathode ray tube (CRT) monitors. Buy energy efficient notebook computers , instead of desktop computers. Turn off computers at the end of each day. Refill printer cartridges , rather than buying new ones. Instead of purchasing a new computer , try refurbishing an existing device.
- 19. Conclusion By going “green” in technology we help to promote an ecofriendly and cleaner environment , along with our own benefits by reducing costs , conserving energy , cutting down of waste
