Green Campus Computing

It is good to know that there is a program that cares for the environment and that could teach us on how to be involved. Green Campus Computing encourages us to do things such as conserving and recycling not solely for the benefit of environment, but for us to have a positive learning. It would be great if our school would adopt the concept and it should be. In implementing the concept, first, the school should educate the students, faculty and staff about the program; and encourage them to practice the green computing strategies – conserve and recycle. As an IT, we could help. There are many energy conservation strategies and one of the basics is to turn off the computer when not in use. Usually, when we are done with our work, we tend to leave the computer on. With this, we are wasting the energy and we are adding up the energy cost.

Imparting the knowledge would also make the program succeed and would make our world become green.
