Approaches to green computing

To comprehensively and effectively address the environmental impacts of computing/IT, we must adopt a holistic approach and make the entire IT lifecycle greener by addressing environmental sustainability along the following four complementary paths:


• Green use -- reducing the energy consumption of computers and other information systems as well as using them in an environmentally sound manner
• Green disposal -- refurbishing and reusing old computers and properly recycling unwanted computers and other electronic equipment


• Green design -- designing energy-efficient and environmentally sound components, computers, servers, cooling equipment, and data centers


• Green manufacturing -- manufacturing electronic components, computers, and other associated subsystems with minimal impact on the environment


Modern IT systems rely upon a complicated mix of people, networks and hardware; as such, a green computing initiative must be systemic in nature, and address increasingly sophisticated problems. Elements of such a solution may comprise items such as end user satisfaction, management restructuring, regulatory compliance, disposal of electronic waste, telecommuting, virtualization of server resources, energy use, thin client solutions, and return on investment (ROI).
