♦ E-Waste Recycling.♦ Energy Consumption/Energy Efficiency.♦ Data Center.♦ IT Products and eco-labeling.

• Buy "Energy Star" labeled desktops monitors, laptops, and printers.

• Put laptops in "sleep" mode when not in use.

• Turn OFF computers and other equipment when not in use.

• E-cycling is generally practiced to reduce the amount of electronic components that are discarded when users purchase new components.

• Buy the new "Smart Strip" power strip.

• The Smart Strip actually senses how much power your computer peripherals use.

• Print smart or don’t print at all. Don’t waste papers.

• Use E-Mail services and File sharing technology for Communication.

• Proper use of the system devices like the monitors.

• Instead of using the CRT monitor you can adapt the LCD.

• Electronic Waste: Use the campus network where

possible to transfer files. Use USB memory sticks instead

of CDs, DVDs, or floppies.Use re-writable CDs and DVDs.

• Green business opportunities provide consumers with ecologically sound products and services.  

• The greenest computer will not miraculously fall from the sky one day; it’ll be the product of years of improvements.
