Network World is advising active computer users to think green when it comes to their computer use. Computers are one of the biggest energy users today, and it is often one of the most over-looked areas to save energy!

They suggest businesses should

  • Measure IT energy-spending separately.
  • Use power-management software.
  • Buy green, efficient computers, and tell vendors that you care about efficiency and use of toxic materials.
  • Limit how much power and cooling you provide, to force yourself to use it more efficiently.
  • Prepare for a product’s end of life, and take responsibility for its disposal or recycling.
  • Develop the business case for energy efficiency, looking at system and life-cycle costs.
  • Buy green power.
  • Set efficiency targets, then upgrade or get rid of equipment to eliminate underutilized and inefficient machines.
  • Add the power bill to the CIO’s budget.

    • I know these tips are geared towards the computer in the office scenario, but there are a few good ones we could all take up! I know I spend too much time staring at a computer screen!
