Green computing is about using computers in an environmentally responsible and eco-friendly manner. Green computing aims to reduce the use and impact of hazardous materials, maximize energy efficiency, and promote recycling of computers that are no longer being used.
- Green computing tries to reduce the environmental effect of computers by making computers more efficient and making sure the computers are built from biodegradable materials.
Some examples of green computing include

  • Computers going to “sleep” after they have been inactive for a certain amount of time.
  • Data stored on SSDs uses considerably less electricity than data on disk drives.

  • Improved CPU architecture allows less electricity to create more power.
  • More efficient software requires less processing and storage space, which requires less electricity.
  • Better resource allocation means unnecessary computers in data centers can be turned off, saving a lot of electricity.
