HOW TO PRESERVE BY PRACTICING GREEN COMPUTING

1. 1.    USE PDFs WHENEVER POSSIBLE

First, we should use PDFs whenever we could.  This is because paper products represent the largest portion of the trash.  They made up roughly 68 million tons (or a little over a quarter) of all materials in the municipal waste stream. But even if you don’t feel ready to go all the way to a paperless workflow, you can still cut back on your paper use.

1. 2    MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR PAPER

Second step is that we should save the paper as long we can.  If you really must print, use both sides of the page.  Most new printers can do this automatically. Without requiring you to turn the paper over and put it back in the paper tray.  This is simple way how to save when you need to print.  From this way, also can help together to preserve our green computing.  

1. 3.   TURN THINGS OFF WHEN YOU ARE NOT USING THEM

Next, you should turn equipment off if you don’t want to use them.  It is easiest way that we can follow.  Putting your computer in off mode is very good are you not using them.  Turning it off altogether reduces the load even more.  It also can save cost in energy.  The only way to truly cut their power use to zero is to unplug them or use a “smart” power strip.

1. 4.    REUSE OLD EQUIPMENT

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimates that 29.9 million desktops and 12 million laptops were discarded in 2007 that is roughly 115,000 computers out with the trash each day. Similarly, the agency estimates 235 million units of electronic products are in storage sitting unused in home closets, attics, or basements.  It’s surprisingly easy to sell old electronics on sites.  The advantages of this way, you not only can save green computing, you also can get side income money.
