Abstract

ICT has now become an important department for the success of any organisation. Most of the businesses rely on the many benefits computers provide by using computing resources to perform a multitude of tasks, including work, research, teaching and learning. However the IT department is usually always the one department that uses the most amount of power which in turn is an excessive amount of overhead for a business as well as a source for toxic waste. Making IT “Green” can not only save money but help save our world by making it a better place through reducing and/or eliminating wasteful practices and using non-toxic materials.
