Computers have become an essential part in our everyday life. At home, work and also in schools.
But one thing we can't deny is that the fact is, though most of us may not be aware of it, can also be one cause of
environmental degradation and it uses large amounts of energy.
For me, implementing green campus computing in USEP can be a big help not only in our environment but also the
power usage in our school.
This are some of the things that our school must implement to conserve our environment and also lessen the energy consumption:
- Turn off the computers if not in use. Although idling the computer saves energy consumption, it still uses a percentage of the power consumption.
- Buy environment friendly computers and other energy star products. These helps in energy use.
- Enable power management especially monitors.
- Disposing computer parts, electrical devices and batteries safely.
- Recycle materials that can still be used like papers that has been used only on side.
- Not only for computers, other devices like electric fans, televisions and other electrical devices should be turned off when not in use.

well..
the idea of spreading the extent pollution of using computers is at risk at this moment..rather, thanks for reminding me the benefits and other benefactors of implementing green campus computing. Actually, this idea is simply mine..jejeje..=^-^=
Green campus computing, right.? hmmm, I believe that awareness of such thing is the first step to solve this problem. Its nice for you to have made an article like this that other people could read. let's hope they share this idea with others and do the principles in their houses, offices etc.
Im with you with this campaign. Lets help save the environment thru green campus computing.
Nice article..thru this others will know that there are things we can do to save our environment.
