Abstract

The computers and hence computing have become an integral part of human lives in the present Information Age. The increased use of computers enables tedious tasks to be performed in a hassle-free and faster manner. But, this ever-increasing use of computing devices is taking its toll on the environment both in terms of resource utilization and its quality. Green computing is an environmental-friendly way and the current trend in the field of computing. Also, known as green IT, it paves the path to a greener version of computing. A slight transition from the conventional IT or non-green IT can make a huge difference and reduce carbon footprint to a great extent.
