- Abstract
Green computing is an effective approach towards designing, manufacturing, using and disposing of computers and its resources with minimal or no impact on environment. The goals of Green computing is to manage the power and energy efficiency, choice of eco friendly hardware and software, and recycling the material to increase the product's life. The term Green computing came into existence with the launch of Energy Star program in 1992 by U.S environmental protection agency. It aims towards electricity saving and less amount of heat generated by the computers. Widespread use of computers and related IT products has a very bad effect on the environment. Personal Computers are bad for environment because they are not biodegradable and the parts and pieces will be around forever and are rarely recyclable. Environment pollution could be because of the defects in manufacturing techniques, disposal techniques for computers and components. There are toxic chemicals used in the manufacturing of computers and when we use informal disposing they put harmful impacts on our environment. So to save our environment and to reduce the harmful impacts of computers we have to aware about it. Green computing can also develop solutions that offer benefits by aligning all IT processes and practices with the core principles of sustainability, which are to reduce, reuse, and recycle. The concept of Green computing has begun to spread in the past few years, gaining increasing popularity. This research paper describes that today computer is an essential part of our life, No one can not to do any work without computer, but we have to be aware about the harmful effects of computer on our environment. We discuss about the various efforts to improve the green computing.
