Green Computing Name Institution Abstract The field of green computing is an emerging field of the Information Communication Technology (ICT) focused on the adoption of environmentally friendly and sustainable technologies and approaches in the process of developing IT solutions for the world. With the ever growing computer technology needs, the processes involved in their manufacture, use and disposal of unwanted devices have attracted concerns from environmentalists and other interest groups for their potentially harmful negative consequences on the environment and sustainability. As such, green computing is the solution towards the adoption of technologies and processes, which do not contribute to environmental, economic and social un-sustainability. In this research paper, the issue of green computing will be discussed as an effective approach towards protection of the environment from the known and unknown negative consequence of the use of computer technology and related equipments. Introduction Green computing in its simplest form refers to process and initiatives of reducing energy consumption of ICT or the use of ICT to reduce energy consumption. The main goal of green computing is to contribute to a reduction of carbon emissions from ICT equipments and processes which may include designing, manufacturing, using and disposing of computers and
