ABSTRACT
The undertaking task of “Saving Planet Earth” has become essential to all of us for the sustainable life on the Earth. The necessity of sustainable development and urgency to save Earth stems from the increasing pressures of human activities which result in global warming and greenhouse emission. In today's world IT is playing a pivotal role in ensuring the integration of technologies and systems. Day by day there is an escalation in energy consumption by IT resources. To provide solutions and focus on this key problem, a new paradigm “Green Computing or Green IT” appeared. This
paradigm promotes the environmentally responsible use of computer resources which involves employing energy-efficient processors, servers, and peripherals, along with responsible e-waste disposal practices. The goal is to minimize the carbon footprint of IT operations worldwide. Various dimensions of environment sustainability, energy efficient economy, reusability or recyclability of used products are included in the broader way of this paradigm. These dimensions have also paved the reasons for developing this approach as it manages to save power, produces long term benefits, reduces pollution and increases performance etc. Technologies like Green Cloud Computing, Internet of Things (IOT), Green Servers, and nano computing are the key drivers in the progress of Green Computing. Furthermore, various enforcement policies by government agencies or corporate sectors effectively catalyze the implementation of Green Computing. Additionally, it is also spreading awareness that sustainable computing practices are important and how to make their usage in an ecofriendly manner.
