This document discusses the benefits of green computing and provides tips for creating a more eco-friendly computing system. It begins by explaining how embracing green computing practices can improve energy management, increase energy efficiency, reduce e-waste, and save money. It then provides tips like turning off computers when not in use, using power management settings, purchasing energy efficient electronics, and recycling e-waste. The document encourages adopting these small changes to help the environment while saving on energy costs.
The document discusses the growing problem of electronic waste (e-waste) and its environmental impacts. It notes that e-waste contains valuable but also harmful materials, and that the life span of electronics is decreasing due to advances in technology, leading to more e-waste. The e-waste is polluting due to toxic heavy metals in components and improper disposal practices, especially in developing countries where e-waste is often dumped. Proper e-waste management through reducing waste, reusing electronics, and responsible recycling is needed to limit environmental degradation and health impacts from this waste stream.
The document discusses the 3 immutable laws and best practices of e-waste management: 1) Responsible management requires a comprehensive audit trail, as even inert materials can be hazardous; 2) De-manufacturing should be a last resort, and environmental responsibility extends to final disposition; 3) Highest use is best use, as working units provide greatest benefit if reused. It also outlines the 5 essential e-waste best practices of centralizing, sanitizing, optimizing value, scrutinizing disposition, and analyzing audit trails.
The document discusses the origins and history of green tea. It originated in Southeast Asia and was first used medicinally in China in 2737 BC. It was later used as currency and demand grew as farmers began cultivating it. By the 1850s, England was consuming over 80 million pounds annually. Green tea is grown on plantations in climates with heavy rainfall and elevations between 3,000-7,000 feet. The active compounds in green tea are polyphenols called catechins that may provide health benefits such as cancer prevention and weight loss. Current studies show green tea may help reduce body fat and LDL cholesterol.

The United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization set a goal in 1996 to halve the number of hungry people in the world by 2015. There are currently 842 million hungry people globally, with the majority living in Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. Agriculture is the backbone of the economy for 75% of hungry populations. Providing farmers with access to training, markets, fertilizer, and improved seeds would be more effective and cheaper than sending food aid. While some food aid will still be needed for disasters, wars, and droughts, supporting agriculture can help communities produce their own food to feed themselves and sell surplus.
The document outlines 8 types of waste that should be eliminated: motion, waiting, transportation, overprocessing, overproduction, defects, unused inventory, and unused human capacity. It provides examples of each type of waste and encourages not accepting, making, or passing on waste. The overall message is to identify and reduce non-value added activities in order to improve efficiency.
