Mr. Na

In this project, Ben as a project sponsor is working fruitful on it by delivering the resources and recommendations.

Green computing plays an important role in green environment. It is because almost all of the businesses and organizations depend totally on IT to perform every tasks and operations and production and disposal of computer wastes directly affects the green environment (Chow and Chen, 2009). Thus, Green Computing helps to utilize computing resources more efficiently and effectively in order to decrease power consumption and environmental impacts.

Green IT, also called as green computing, is the study and practice of creating, engineering, using, and disposing of electronic devices such as servers, computers, and associated subsystems – like printers, monitors, storage devices, networking, and storage devices, and communications systems –effectively and efficiently with negligible or no impact on the environment. thus, green IT involves software assets, hardware assets, tools, approaches, and practices which can help to enhance and provide environmental sustainability.

Today, there is much emphasis given towards sustainability in the corporate world. According to its IR, NAB is said to be using much less energy in its data centers giving priority to infrastructure which is energy efficient, with some of its hubs receiving certifications too (p.14). NAB is also spending a significant amount on energy efficiency initiatives with $15 million of costs avoided and 81,000 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions being eliminated (p.26). Further the use of solar reflective roof paints and renewable energy (p.26) is an assurance that NAB is committed towards creating a sustainable environment with minimal impacts and preserving the environment for future generations.

The Wipro Green ware range of desktops based on Intel Core 2 Duo processor family which is designed to provide energy efficient performance will take green computing to the next level. The core mission of Wipro Green Computing is to work towards clean and sustainable IT products and solutions which helps to achieve high productivity in energy, space and asset

Emissions associated with electricity consumption represent a significant portion of their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Their cloud services will reduce the net energy used as they absorb computational workloads from less efficient sources. As Microsoft becomes an increasingly more energy intensive company it is essential that they take measures to reduce the emissions impact of this energy intensity. They recognise that they will need to look to industry expertise and research to ensure that they are using the best technology and strategies available.

the term “green computing” refers to the improvement of computing practices in a way that is environmentally friendly.

This report is based off a lessons learned sources document attached separately, the categories are: Issue Name, Problem/Success, Impact, and Recommendations. The Issue names are Planning/Content, Project milestones, Project Processes and Behavior. This report list failures and success of this project.

Intel’s studies have shown that raising employees’ awareness of how much power their equipment is consuming, and getting them involved in reducing that amount, is critical to success in reducing energy use in the office environment.

A Project Charter was created indicating the Project Name, Chartered Date, Sponsoring Organization, Project Start Date, and Target Completion Date. The Project Sponsor, Project Black Belt, Project Green Belt, team members, and the corresponding roles and contact information were identified. The project goal, process problem, scope of the project, process importance, and authorized resources were also outlined (see Figure 1).

The Earth is experiencing changes of great magnitude. Much of the evidence of the changes is reflected in the climate. Climate change, while once a debate, is not an urgent issue at the forefront of the global consciousness, particularly in countries that produce the vastest quantities of Carbon dioxide (CO2) such as the United States of America and China. Concurrently, the 21st century world experiences a digital or technological revolution that has affected the human civilization on the scales akin with the invention of the printing press and the industrial revolution. Though there exist countries without advanced technology, generally the world is a more technologically integrated place and human experience is more technologically mediated. Thus, the world is one of climate crisis and technological abundance. How can human beings use these two conditions to improve the world? Green technology is one plausible and feasible answer to that question. The paper explains what green technology is, the ways in which it serves humanity, and why its increased use it critical to the survival of the planet.

Green technology is not just something of the present; it has history and is going to play a big role in the future. “The term ‘technology’ refers to the application of knowledge for practical purposes.” (http://www.green-technology.org, 2010) With that being said, green technology is a method of products designed to protect our environment from toxins. We are living in the age of technology, but we are not living in the environmentally “cleanest” era. In the 21st century we need to look into the future and prepare for a cleaner environment with the impact of human involvement.

A plethora of environmental problems face us at Cornell College, one of the key issues being energy waste. On any college or university campus there are dorms or living facilities. These facilities require a large amount of energy, and students overuse and waste it. We can change actions towards energy conservation by knowing concepts of psychology like: cognition, personality, motivation and, social influences (persuasion) to help us change student’s attitudes and behaviors. One way to combat energy waste is to turn to green defaults, therefore implementing proenvironmental behaviors with little effort done by students themselves. Another energy saving idea is the idea of Blackout Blocks, turning off energy

The report takes a look into the sustainability practices carried out by Intel. Intel has carried out incremental innovation in order to drive its sustainability activities. It has helped other industries and governments with technology-based solutions to tackle sustainability challenges which include Open Energy, Renewable Energy, Water Conservation and Water Consumption. Intel identifies its greatest contribution to the environment in the potential its services and solutions in IT have to offer, in order to help its clients and suppliers contribute to sustainable development. The report also addresses the question; How Intel can improve sustainability results by conducting changes in its operations.

IBM has not only succeeded in maintaining its competition in providing software, computer technology and systems integrators, but IBM also successfully managing its resource such as energy, water, and material, including waste product, thus offering environmentally friendly products and services which have been recognized by various parties and has received many awards (IBM Environment Report, 2012). IBM success is always related to the leadership style of it appointed CEO and management group. There are several appointed CEO with different leadership style since IBM established, such as Sam Palmisano, Larry Ellison, Randy MacDonald, and Thomas Watson. Different leadership style among CEO help IBM
