Green Computing and Energy Consumption Issues in the Modern Age Sonika Muriel Pinto,Vemuri Divya,Varsha R,Nalina V

Green computing is the environmentally responsible use of computers and their resources. Its main aim is to reduce carbon footprint and make efficient use of energy while also reducing toxic waste. Green computing aims at making effective and full use of computers and their resources and meeting the needs of the users while also sustaining the ability to meet future needs. Systematic analysis of energy consumption based on the type of service is done to determine efficient green computing methods to improve the complete energy consumption. In today's world, it is a major challenge to simultaneously build computers and other services that meet the ever increasing needs of customers and balance their performance to maximize energy efficiency and minimize e-waste production by using non-toxic materials for equipment manufacturing. By implementing the practices of green computing, we can reduce the use of resources and disposal of e-waste. There has been a steady increase in the use of computers and other electronic gadgets which means that the amount of electricity consumed has also been steadily increasing. This results in an increase in CO2 in the atmosphere. In this paper, we will look into the details of green computing such as its theories and designs, along with its heat and energy consumption issues. This paper will help us to take a few activities that are at present time under the field on computers/electronics and better approaches to save huge quantities of energy which is wasted in a large manner.
