Technique Overview
Green Computing Definition
Green computing is the environmentally responsible use of computers and related equipment, including monitors, printers, storage devices, and networking systems. Green computing means using IT equipment efficiently and effectively with minimal or no impact on the environment. Green computing involves reducing the environmental impact of technology at all stages: not only when devices are being used, but also during the manufacturing of the products and in the eventual recycling or disposal of the equipment.
