3. Introduction to Green Computing
 Green computing refers to the practice of designing, manufacturing,
using, and disposing of computers and other electronic products in an
energy-efficient and eco-friendly manner.
 Green computing in the educational system has the potential to reduce
energy consumption, lower operational costs, and improve the
environmental sustainability of an educational institution.
 Schools can implement strategies such as optimizing computer power
settings, choosing energy-efficient hardware, and providing software
and hardware recycling options to reduce their environmental footprint.
 Green computing initiatives can be used to educate students about
environmental stewardship and the importance of conserving energy
and resources.

4. Strategies in Green Computing
 HEIs are increasingly recognizing the importance of green computing
and are taking steps to implement green computing practices.
 HEIs are also encouraging students and staff to use green computing
practices, such as using cloud computing systems and other online
services instead of printing documents.
 HEIs are increasingly using green computing technologies, such as
virtualization.
 Virtualization allows multiple virtual machines to run on a single
physical machine, reducing the need for multiple physical machines and
the associated energy consumption.
 Cloud computing systems also allow HEIs to reduce the energy
consumption of their computing systems by utilizing shared computing
resources in the cloud instead of local computing resources.

5. Awareness of Green Computing
 Green computing is the term used to describe the practice of creating,
using, and disposing of computers and associated technology resources
in an environmentally responsible manner.
 It involves reducing the environmental impact of computer use by
reducing the consumption of electricity, minimizing the use of
hazardous materials, and minimizing the generation of electronic waste.
 Green computing can also involve the use of recycled or recycled
materials in the production of computer hardware.
 Green computing is an important part of protecting the environment
and conserving resources. It can help reduce pollution, conserve energy,
reduce waste, and save money.

6. Practices towards Green Computing
Green Computing is a way of using technology responsibly and in an
environmentally friendly and cost-effective manner and involves the
implementation of measures such as energy efficiency, recycling, and
reducing the use of hazardous materials.
Some best practices for green computing:-
1. Power Management: Ensure that computer and other devices are not
consuming more power than necessary. Power down the devices when not
in use or optimize power settings for the task at hand.
2. Recycling: Consider donating old devices to those in need. Opt for
recycled materials when purchasing new products or upgrading existing
ones.

7. Practices towards Green Computing
(Contd.)
3. Energy Efficiency: Choose energy-efficient devices and equipment that
use less power. Products with the ENERGY STAR label meet the highest
energy efficiency standards.
4. Material Selection: Select materials that are non-toxic and
environmentally friendly. Avoid products with hazardous materials such as
chlorine, lead, mercury, cadmium, and bromine.

8. GREEN COMPUTING IN EDUCATION
 Green computing in education, help students understand the
environmental impacts of technology and the importance of
sustainability practices.
 It makes students to be responsible digital citizens, as they need to
understand the potential environmental impacts of their online
activities.
 Environmental aspects of technology teach students how to properly
dispose of and recycle outdated or broken electronics.
 Teaching students about the energy consumption of their devices and
how to reduce it, and the importance of using secure passwords, can
help them become better digital citizens.

9. Conclusion
 Green computing is an important concept in education, as students
understand the environmental impacts of technology and the need to
use sustainable practices.
 It is also essential for teaching students to be responsible digital
citizens, as they need to understand the potential environmental impacts
of their online activities.
 Educating students about green computing can help them become more
aware of their environmental impact and the importance of
sustainability.
