Green Computing is part of society’s general trend to move to a greener world which is being triggered to combat the very real risk and worry of climate change.
Climate change is caused by society’s increased use of burning fossil fuels (such as oil, gas, and coal) which releases greenhouse gases into the atmosphere and acts as a blanket around the globe, stopping the sun’s heat from leaving and therefore increasing global temperatures.
These temperature increases will upset the delicate interconnected environmental global ecosystem which will then cause changes to long-term shifts in global temperatures and weather patterns which will then, in turn, cause major issues globally with rising sea levels, colder winters, and warmer summers.
To try and combat this issue then many organisations are looking to implement “greener” strategies and policies to address these issues and this can be summarized as follows:
- Ensuring that Organizations Implement Greener Policies
- Ensuring that Local/Foreign Governments and Policymakers Implement Greener Policies
- Firms Need to Measure and Benchmark Their Current Green Computing Impact Immediately
- Firms Need to Use the Benchmark to Implement a Green Computing Strategy to Reduce Their Impact to a More Acceptable Level
- Implementing Green Computing Involves a Large Number of Small Changes
- Green Computing Will Not Be Cheap and Will Take Time
- It Is Possible to Use Going Green as a Selling Point or Competitive Advantage
