The Green computing concept has been a great talking around the globe these days because manufacturing and consumption is becoming an environmental concern. But it’s very unfortunate to see the diminishing growth which was earlier expected to have been huge. Though, continuous efforts are being made in order to conceive the idea in a more simplified manner.
Here is why and how we can apply Green technology to the business operations, to make it more environment-friendly.

Why do we need it?
The first thing that hits your mind is because it is the need of the hour. Global warming which has been the major disease since it came into light, poses threats to the future. We are in an era where needs and demands are growing by the second of the clock. Resources are limited and they should be managed in such a way that our future has some silver linings to it.
a) Tons of Electronic Waste
Majorly pronounced E-Waste, this is a major threat that has an impact on our environment since the machinery came in. Tons and millions of dump get collected daily around the globe in junkyards. Also, it produces some unbearable toxins that can lead to various unknown deadly diseases. In order to recycle e-waste, we should shift towards Green technology and make use of environment-friendly products.
b) Limited Resources
There might be a headline in the future that says “NO MORE RESOURCES TO PRODUCE ELECTRONICS GOODS” until manufacturers around the globe start taking this issue seriously. Resources are limited and should be utilized efficiently in order to save the environment. Green ideas that lead to minimize the usage of these scarce resources should be used as much as possible. Cloud technology is one great example of that.
c) Energy Cost
The thing that runs most of these technological processes all around the globe doesn’t come at an easy cost. Producing electrical energy these days is getting costlier and limited. The usage and demand for energy consumption has led to the crisis situation in many countries. The problem can only be solved by moving to other clean and green options. Solar energy, biogas, and wind energy are great motivators towards that.
How should we do it?
There are many fruitful ways to kick-start green computing usage, but one should always make sure it is being implemented in the right manner. Finding the right resources, accessing them properly and making sure it’s moving towards the right front, is very important.
a) Discovering the Best Possible Option
It’s very important to discover the best green technology that suits your business requirements. There are a number of green innovations that deliver some great outcomes. But ultimately what’s best for the business, only the owner can decide. Say for a tech firm which produces electronic goods, using recycled resources would be a great green idea. For an IT firm that deals in data management, green data centers that consume less energy would be a beneficial option.
b) Execution par Excellence
After you are done deciding what’s green and what’s not, don’t just sit there and start implementing these solutions. Always keep up the good work by making sure that every process that needs to be done is being done properly on not. Green computing can only sustain if all the resources are being managed properly. Take some extra time out in order to compare the outcomes, if there is a scope of improvement, doesn’t bother going the extra mile.
Ultimately it’s the humanity for which green computing is being procured for. Securing the future of upcoming generations will be the ultimate result of using green technology. As time will fly by the resources will automatically start to perish. In order to keep the life cycle intact and running, we need to take some outrageous steps. It all depends on how and when different economies around the globe start seeing this as a great aid to the future of humanity.

8 years agoI think the biggest reason for accepting green computing is that it works as a cost cutting process for both SMBs and MNCs.
Ken Hoetmer
8 years agoAfter few years green computing will not be an option it will be compulsory. The reason for that is continuous depletion of nonrenewable energy resources.
Steve Pearl
8 years agoIt is very necessary for governments to plan out and execute strong policies that minimize the use of physical resources and maximize the use of green computing.
David Duminy
8 years agoIT giants like IBM and Microsoft are really endorsing green computing into their veins. They could be a major help to others in the next few years.
