- 3. INTRODUCTION A green computer or green IT system is one where the entire process from design, manufacture, use, and disposal involves as little environmental impact as possible. In other words, a green initiative is taken in consideration of all facets of a computer‘s life, from design to disposal.
- 4. WHAT IS GREEN COMPUTING ? Green computing is the practise of using computer resources efficiently. Designing , manufacturing ,& disposing computers , servers with no impact on environment. To reduce the use of hazardous material , maximise energy efficiency during products lifetime.
- 5. WHY GREEN COMPUTING?? Increase in E-Waste Environment& climate change Increasing demand & cost of energy Industry & government regulations Limited resourses Global Warming
- 7. HISTORY One of the first manifestations of green computing movement was the launch of energy star program back in 1992. Another result of Green Computing was the “ sleep mode ”function of computer monitors.
- 8. HOW TO MAKE COMPUTER GREEN?? GREEN DESIGNING: Designing energy efficient & eco-friendly computers , servers , printers , projectors etc. GREEN MANUFACTURING : Minimising waste during the manufacturing of computers and other components. GREEN USE : Minimising the electricity consumption of computers and peripheral devices and using them in an eco-friendly manner. GREEN DISPOSAL : Reconstructing or recycling unwanted electronic equipment
- 10. RECENT IMPLEMENTATIONS OF GREEN COMPUTING BLACKLE : Blackle is a search engine site powered by Google custom search Blackle came into being based on the concept that when a computer screen is white , presenting an empty word page or the google home page ,your computer consumes 74 w. When a computer screen is black, it consumes only 59w.

- 12. ZONBU COMPUTER Zombu computer is a new very energy efficient PC.It consumes just 1/3 of power of a typical light bulb . The device owns the linux operating system .
- 13. ACTION PLAN Using energy star qualified products help in energy conservation. The Climate Savers Computing Initiative (CSCI) catalogue can be used for choosing green products. Organic light emitting diodes should be used instead of regular monitors. Donating your old computers & other peripherals can reduce the rate of e-waste creation.
- 14. CONCLUSION So far ,consumers haven’t cared about ecological impact when buying computers ,they have only cared only about speed & price. New Green Materials are developed every year & many toxic ones are already being replaced by them . The features of Green Computing of tomorrow would be like efficiency , manufacturing materials , recyclability ,servers model, self powering & other trend.
