GREEN C
 Green computing, green IT or
ICT Sustainability, is the study
and practice of
environmentally sustainable
computing or IT

BUT HOW’S THAT

WORKING?
 In a more common way, it’s the study
and practice of designing, manufacturing,
using, and disposing of computers,
servers.

AND ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT LABELS

ENCOURAGING THIS KIND OF ETHICS IS
 WHY GREEN COMPUTING?
Decreasing
Decreasing impacts on

REASONS FOR ADOPTING green solutions
 NOW, YOU MIGHT BE SAYING HOW A
COMPUTER CAN EVENTUALLY BE A HARMFUL
THING FOR THE ENVIRONEMENT?

 AND EVEN MORE HARMFUL, CAUSE OUR COMPUTERS
CONTAINS A BUNCH OF HAZARDOUS/DANGEROUS
MATERIALS WICH ARE USED IN THE MANUFACTURING OF
THE SYSTEMS.

 Lead: solder, CRT monitors (Lead in

glass), Lead-acid battery
 Tin: solder
 Copper: copper wire, printed circuit
board tracks
 Aluminum: nearly all electronic goods
using more than a few watts of power
 Iron: steel chassis, cases & fixings
 Silicon: glass, transistors, ICs, Printed
circuit boards
 Lithium: lithium-ion battery
 Zinc: plating for steel parts
ROADS TO GREEN COMPUTING :
CAN WE GREEN
IT ?

Green use: Minimizing the electricity consumption.

Green disposal: Re-making an existing computer or

recycling, unwanted electronic equipments.

Green design: Designing energy-efficient computers,

and other digital devices.
Green manufacturing: Minimizing waste during the
manufacturing of computers and other subsystems to
reduce the environmental impact of these activities

THE CORRECT GESTURES TO ADOPT!

1 RE - USE
Donate your computer components to people who
may not have or have lesser quality computers

2 Refurbish
Rather than discarding your computer upgrade it.
change its some of the parts in order to make it
new.

3 Recycle
 HOW CAN WE MAKE THE CHANGE ?

 Turn off computers at the end of each day.

 Use power saver mode.
 Don’t print unless necessary .
 Dispose of e-waste according to federal, state and
local regulations.
 Instead of purchasing a new computer, try
refurbishing an existing device.
 Use hardware software with a energy star label.
 HOW TO SAVE ENERGY WHILE
WORKING ON THE INTERNET?

• Blackle is the website powered by Google custom

search and created by Heap Media, which aims to
save energy by displaying a black background and
using grayish-white font color for search
results.
• Blackle saves energy
because the screen is
predominantly black.
• SO Set blackle as
your homepage!
 AS WE ALL KNOW

WE CAN ALSO SAV ENERGY WHILE WORKING OFF - LINE

Hibernate Sleep
mode mode

 Saves energy and protects  Sleep or standby mode conserves

your work and it Reduces energy by cutting off power to your
wear and tear on your display, hard drives and
components peripherals.

 GREEN MANUFACTURING

 Recyclable plastics: computers are constructed from

non-recyclable plastics (i.e. Recyclable polycarbonates
resin)
 Volume reduction: remove hazardous portion of
waste from non hazardous portion.
 Bamboo: is becoming increasingly popular for
making casings for computers and peripherals.

RECENT IMPLEMENTATION OF GREEN COMPUTING
ZONBU
COMPUTER
֍ The Zonbu is a new, very energy efficient
PC.
֍ The Zonbu consumes just one third of the
power of a typical light bulb.
֍ The device runs the Linux operating
system using a 1.2 GHz processor and 512
MB of RAM.
 ASUS Eee PC & ULTRA
PORTABLES

 Small Size
 Fairly low- power CPU.
 Compact screen
 Low cost.
 Uses flash memory for storage.
 ADVANTAGES
 Energy saving Environmentally Friend.  Save
more money per year.
 Green computing techniques will actually
translate into a much lower carbon dioxide
emission Disadvantages:
 High start up cost.
 Still in experimental stages
 DISADVANTAGES
 High start up cost.
 Still in experimental stages.

ADVANTAGES

WILL IT BE ABLE TO RE-

DEVELOP HUMAN’S FUTURE?
NEXT GOALS
 Energy-intensive manufacturing of computer
parts can be minimized by making
manufacturing process more energy efficient.
 By replacing petroleum-filled plastic with
bioplastics—plant-based polymers— require
less oil and energy to produce than traditional
plastics with a challenge to keep these
bioplastic computers cool so that electronics
won't melt them.
 Landfills can be controlled by making best
use of the device by upgrading and repairing
in time with a need to make such processes
(i.e., up gradation and repairing) easier and
cheaper.
