Green computing aims to minimize the environmental impact of computers and electronic waste. It involves designing, manufacturing, and disposing of computers and peripherals in an environmentally-friendly way. One of the first fully "green" computer components was invented in the 1990s in Dublin and was designed to be non-hazardous and fully recyclable. Green computing techniques include using solar power, reducing lead and hazardous materials in components, and designing products that consume less energy and produce less heat. The goal is to make all computer components fully recyclable and reusable.

2. Older Computers are composed of electronic wastes such as Lead, Barium and Zinc.Disposal of such wastes is one of the issues in environmental safetyOlder Computers produce too much heat that may affect global warming.Today’s Situation

3. Study or practice of manufacturing, manipulating, and disposal of computer peripherals without affecting or minimizing the hazardous effect of electronic wastes in the environment.Also minimizing the amount of energy and heat in computer components.The goal is to implement Recyclability to all computer components.Green Computing

4. The first 100% Green Pcomponent was invented by MicroPro in 1990s in Dublin, IrelandPaul Maher is the one responsible for the design and implementation of the component.The design started when Maher saw a girl disposing a computer component using a blowtorch without any protective gear.History of Green Computing

5. Maher conceptualize that such components should not be hazardous.Maher said that “computers should be updatable, upgradeable, reusable, recyclable and at the end of the life of them we can replace the main board and start all over again.”

6. Energy Analysis

7. The chart above shows the energy consumption of the Normal PC in Normal Mode and a Green PC in Normal Mode.The Normal PC consumes almost 10 times than a green PC
