Green IT

Adding the word "Green" to anything makes it sound so environmental-friendly. The term Green IT tells us what it aims to provide: environmental-friendly IT practices and technologies. 

The goals of green computing are similar to green chemistry: reduce the use of hazardous materials, maximize energy efficiency during the product's lifetime, and promote the recyclability or biodegradability of unused products and factory waste. Many corporate IT departments have green computing initiatives to reduce the environmental impact of their IT operations.

Now this practice is currently trending all throughout different corporations, especially the large, global ones. There has been a continuous rise of international environmental standards, policies, and laws all throughout the world, and it is only right that the IT industry also plays its part on this movement.
