- 7. One of the first manifestations of the green computing movement was the launch of energy star program back in 1992. Energy Star served as a kind of voluntary label awarded to computing products that succeeded in minimizing use of energy while maximizing efficiency. Energy Star applied to products like computer monitors, television sets and temperature control devices like refrigerators, air conditioners, and similar items.
- 8. Minimizing the electricity consumption. Use power saver mode. Use liquid-crystal-display (LCD) monitors rather than cathode- ray- tube (CRT) monitors. 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. GENERAL TACTICS TO MAKE COMPUTING USAGE MORE GREEN:
- 9. 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. Set blackle as your homepage.
- 10. 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. Green Manufacturing
- 12. Designing energy-efficient computers, servers, printers, projectors and other digital devices that are environmentally friendly. Green design means designing with the whole life cycle of the product in mind Product Longevity Size Modularity Packaging
- 13. Advantages Energy saving Environmentally Friend. Save more money per year. Green computing techniques will actually translate into a much lower carbon dioxide emission. High start up cost. Still in experimental stages. Disadvantages
- 15. Reuse:- donate your computer components to people who may not have or have lesser quality computers. Refurbish: rather than discarding your computer upgrade it. change its some of the parts in order to make it new. Recycle
- 17. Remember… Charity may begin at home, but green computing begins at the desktop. Make the commitment…
