ABSTRACT

Today, the computer is the basic need of every human being. Computer and made our lives

easier and saves a lot of time and human effort, but no one is aware about the harmful effects of

the use of the computer in environment. This is more than the production of CO2 emission

through the heat generated by computer and its organs. Energy consumption by different

computer hardware also plays a major role towards the harmful environment. And cause toxicity

and pollution due to computer material. To solve these problems, "Green Computing "comes into

existence. With the help of green computing we can save a lot of energy and the protection of

our environment from the harmful effects of computers and organs. Green computing effectively

Approach towards energy efficient products. The focus of this study is on the benefits of green

computing, By adapting the Green Computing, "to save the environment, save Life".

INTRODUCTION

It is known that technical developments which are making new advancements today which show

yesterday as outdated. Developments in the field of information technology today are happening

very quickly successions that computers come to the market and quickly turned the piece of junk

as well. Therefore, it has led to a new field of computing known as ”Green Computing”, which

promotes the use of environmentally sustainable computers and accessories which during use

and after disposal cause minimal or no damage to the environment. Also referred to as green

IT, this technology aims to increase energy efficiency and reduce the use of hazardous

chemicals in the devices that turn at the disposal or recycling of environmentally friendly

design.

The increase in computing over the years to have a direct impact on environmental issues

and the preoccupation of green technology in the future is to reduce the negative impact of

computing on the environment.

We becoming more aware of the environment and the idea of being green in all aspects of

our lives are more and more vital. High oil prices and dwindling stocks, so we need to

develop technologies that do not rely on oil and gasoline, but will allow our vehicles to use

electricity and other natural and eco-friendly things which can be renewed and wont effect

the environment. Technological advancements are making our homes much more energy

efficient.

Many people don’t think of computers in terms of green technology, but its important part

of the equation. Software designed on computers can help reduce energy consumption or

make the elements and processes more environmentally friendly.

METHODS

Green technology is a term user very broadly, one that covers all stages of the life of

computers using advances in technology to make things more environmentally friendly

and reduce our carbon footprint.

It's prevalent as it is in a new type of hybrid, as is the case in making computers that use

less amount of energy or recycling of mobile phones and computers parts (many of

which end up lying on the garbage dumps, unfortunately) . The truth is that, necessity of

green technology should be in the future.

The mnemonic GREEN is defined more fully in :

G - Generating and storing renewable energy

R - Recycling existing materials

E - Energy efficient product manufacturing, distribution, construction, installation and

maintenance

E - Education, compliance and awareness

N - Natural and sustainable product manufacturing

Green or green computing refers to information sustainable and environmentally computing

technology. It is also environmentally responsible use of computers and related resources.

In the year 1992, environmental protection in the United States agency launched a program

called "Energy Star". A situation that voluntary labeling program designed to strengthen

and recognize energy efficiency. The results of "sleep mode" in the field of consumer

electronics adoption. Green Computing, used shortly after the start of the Energy Star

program. The main objective of the program was to calculate the triple line efficiently (or

"People, Planet, Profit"). One of the main goals of green computing is about improving the

performance of computing and reducing the energy consumption and carbon footprints. The

terms is usually used for computing resources in conjunction with reduced environmental

impact, and to maximize the economic viability and ensure social duties. Reducing the use

of hazardous substances such as CFCs, and encouraging the use of recyclable materials, and

reduce the use of carbon Ingredients is biodegradable, and encouraging the use of

sustainable and renewable resources. It is taken as Green Initiative to consider all aspects of

the life of the computer, from design to disposal.

It includes green computing:

Green design - The design of energy-efficient components, and computers in an

environmentally sound servers and cooling equipment, and data centers.

Green manufacturing - Manufacture of electronic components, computers, and other

associated subsystems with minimum impact on the environment.

The use of green - The reduction of energy consumption in computers and other information

systems, as well as Use environmentally sound manner.

Disposal green - The renovation and re-use of old computers and recycle properly

computers unwanted and other electronic equipment.

Big boost to contemporary advances in the field of green technology is two European Union

directives:

1. THE 2003 on the restriction of hazardous substances (RoHS) directive limiting the use of

many of the hazardous materials in electronics manufacturing.

2. THE 2007 Registration, Evaluation and Authorization of Chemicals legislation

(REACH), which prohibits certain chemicals and dangerous states permission from the

European Commission for the use of other toxic chemicals.

These guidelines make it difficult for computer manufacturers to continue to use toxic chemicals

such as flame brominates inhibitors (brominated) flame retardants, cadmium, selenium, lead, and

mercury in the computer industry and peripherals, forcing them to look for green alternatives.

Still have not seen the full impact of the electronic industry for RoHS and access to research

is still underway to find alternatives to all toxic substances. In the future, however, it is

certain to see the emergence of an effective and widespread use of computers

environmentally friendly and energy completely free of all harmful toxic elements.

It must be organized green computing initiative in nature, and turns in the direction of an

increasing number of complex computational problems. Elements of such a solution may

contain such issues as follows:

The satisfaction of the end user, which means to improve system performance and use

Social and ethical responsibilities and awareness.

restructuring management.

reduce and eliminate e-waste.

Virtualization of server resources.

Power consumption efficiently.

Replace PCs with energy-efficient thin clients use.

Return on investment.

Energy-efficient design and drives chips

CONCLUSION

While the performance and breadth of application of computers is increasing, so is our

awareness of the cost and scarcity of energy needed to feed them, as well as the materials

needed to make them in the first place. However, because computer developments can

enable people and businesses to adopt greener lifestyles and work styles, in terms of

environmental debate, IT is definitely part of the problem and part of the solution.

Through more environmentally friendly use (such as more efficient power management and

shutdown during periods of inactivity) and by adopting today's lower power technologies,

computers can already be significantly more energy efficient. In fact, just as we now look

back and wonder why cars a decade or two ago was wasting so much gasoline, in a decade

we will undoubtedly be staggered that a typical desktop PC used to sit around drawing 100-

200W of power Every hour of the night and day, and to achieve no more than display a

screen saver.

The computer industry is more prepared and much more competent than almost any other

industry when it comes to addressing and responding to rapid changes. Environmentally it is

not a good thing that most PCs - especially in enterprises - have typically entered a landfill

after only a few years in service. However, this reality at least means that there is a

generalized mentality either to adapt or pay money for new computer hardware on a regular

basis. So while it took decades to get more energy-efficient cars on the roads, I hope it will

only take a matter of years to come to a state of affairs where most computers are using

much less power than Wear unnecessarily today.
