Abstract

In terms of growing awareness about environmental impact of computing, green technology is gaining increasing importance. With rising energy consumption, global warming and e-waste, the idea of green computing is widely taken into serious consideration by both the government agencies and private companies, as their contribution in good practices for sustainable development. Green computing refers to the practice of environmentally responsible and efficient use of computing resources while maintaining economic viability and improving its performance in eco-friendly way. This paper aims to present main approaches and assumptions of green IT by showing the latest solutions and energy efficient practices in computing industry. In the article author has made a systematic study on several strategies and developments in context to the ICT sustainability as a future asset of growth for modern society. The article focuses on the practices like use, disposal, design and manufacturing as well as on technology based-solutions like electronic products and services e.g. green cloud. The outlook for greener ICT should include using the Internet as a powerful agenda for promotion and education for environmentally aware behaviour and as a useful tool for creating eco-friendly technology.
