Abstract :
In past decades, computing has become the real thrust of the world. It has reduced the time consumption and is known for speedy calculations, faster analysis and mare complex problems. But no one has ever known that these computers are also responsible for the environmental degradation. It is responsible for generating tons of e-waste, carbon emissions and carbon foot prints. It is the very serious problem that the world is facing in present scenario. This is where we use the concept of green computing i.e. using the computers and related resources in environment friendly manner. This technology is one of the major concerns that needed to be implemented as early as possible.This study focuses on the production and the operation phases of the product life cycle and demonstrates what actions will result in overall carbon footprint reduction for personal and business computing under various operational conditions and environments.

Key-Words / Index Term :
Green computing, Eco-friendly technology, Carbon emissions, Carbon foot print, E- waste, Degradation
