    Green computing aims to minimize the environmental impact of computing through its entire lifecycle from manufacturing to disposal. It encourages practices like powering down computers when not in use, using LCD monitors which consume less energy than CRTs, printing only when necessary, and using hardware with an Energy Star label. Green computing strategies seek to reduce energy consumption through implementing power management, surveying current policies, and developing configuration standards with IT personnel. Approaches include algorithmic efficiency, power management, recycling materials, and telecommuting to reduce computing's environmental footprint.

    The key takeaways are that green computing aims to minimize the environmental impact of computers and their use through various methods like power management, recycling, and algorithmic efficiency.

    The cradle to grave approach looks at the full life cycle of a computer, from manufacturing to disposal, and tries to minimize environmental impact at each stage.

    Some reasons for green computing include growing environmental awareness, impacts on health, corporate social responsibility, and inefficient energy usage from things like leaving computers on when not in use and unnecessary printing.

    Introduction
    The positive (or least negative) relationship between the physical computer and its impact to the environments in which it moves through from cradle to grave.

    Cradle to Grave Approach


    Full

    life-cycle analysis, not just the product on our desks Looks at: Manufacturing Usage during lifetime Disposal and Reallocation

    Green Computing Why?


    Growing public environmental awareness Increasing impacts on environmental and human health Corporate social responsibility Computer energy is often wasteful leaving the computer on when not in use (CPU and fan consume power, screen savers consume power)

    Green Computing Why? Cont..,


    Printing is often wasteful how many of you print out your emails or meeting agendas Printing out partial drafts For a paperless society, we tend to use more paper today than before computerprevalence Pollution Manufacturing techniques Packaging Disposal of computers and components

    Reducing Energy Consumption


    oTurn off the computer when not in use, even if just for an hour oTurn off the monitor when not in use (as opposed to running a screen saver) oUse LCDs instead of CRTs as they are more power efficient oDont print unless necessary and you are ready oUse power saver mode o In power saver mode, the top item is not necessary, but screen savers use as much electricity as any normal processing, and the screen saver is not necessary on a flat panel display oUse hardware/software with the Energy Star label o Energy Star is a seal of approval by the Energy Star organization of the government

    Energy Conservation
    Implementing power management options on machines Reducing the overall on time of the system as a whole Reducing the overall on time of the monitor in particular

    Energy Conservation Strategies


    Survey current computer power management policies and practices across campus Coordinate participation of IT personnel in an energy reduction plan Develop configuration standards, with IT personnel, to reduce energy consumption of computers

    Approaches to GREEN COMPUTING


    Algorithmic Efficiency Power Management Video Card Display Materials Recycling Telecommuting

    To summarize
    Green computing is a novel and an innovative trend in the world of computing which has minimum or no impact on the environment.
    Green computing has introduced a range of equipments and technologies which help in limiting the impact on the environment. Use of EUPs help in different aspects of the computing world help in recognizing the areas for improvement.
