GREEN COMPUTING

Each year, the big server farms that store, process, and transfer the data needed to make the Web work consume the power from the equivalent of 14 large power plants. Desktop computing adds to the energy inefficiency equation also. Green computing will explore the adoption of environmentally friendly IT ecosystems that can lessen the environmental impact and reduce energy costs.
