The Grass Is Always Greener
Posted by Lindsey Paolucci on January 19, 2010
We all know the saying, “the grass is always greener on the other side.” Well, what if it could be greener on both sides? Anything is possible, and we all have the ability to make changes to our lifestyle to achieve it (do you feel empowered yet?). There is so much being done today to help find solutions for the sustainability of the planet - recycling, conserving water and energy – it’s called “going green.” Well, what does “going green” mean in relation to the IT world? That’s where Green Computing comes into play.
Essentially, Green Computing is the study and practice of designing, manufacturing, using, and disposing of computers, servers, and associated subsystems—such as monitors, printers, storage devices, and networking and communications systems—efficiently and effectively with minimal or no impact on the environment (whew!). In a nutshell, it is the term used to denote the efficient use of resources in computing.
