This is the unfinished image for our Green Campus Computing Advocate. The slacker that I am, I tend to leave my work and then do other things. But I think tonight this image will be completed by then. Though it is incomplete, please do tell me what you think of it. Your comments will be greatly appreciated..... hehe... ^^,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.
