INTRODUCTIONGreen computing is the study and practice of using

computing resources efficiently. The primary objective of such a program is to account for the “triple bottom line” (People, Planet, Profit), success.

Why? computer energy is often wasteful printing is often wasteful pollution toxicity

Energy Star:One of the first manifestations of the green computing

movement was the launch of energy star program back in 1992.
