Technology insiders have this tendency to use and overuse technical terms and business jargon like managed hosting, falsely assuming that everyone else understands what they are talking about. Technology vocabulary is naturally complicated and confusing and it doesn’t help when technologically adept individuals carelessly throw around jargon to aggravate the confusion. One of these terms that we hear quite a lot lately is Green IT.
Green IT is the study and practice of incorporating energy efficiency and environmental responsibility in the use of computers and other IT resources. Computers and computing itself eats up a lot of natural resources - raw materials required for manufacturing, power to run them and disposal problems later on. Everyone has to care about this concept because businesses are growing increasingly reliant on technology. Even small businesses make use of it on a daily basis.
We all work on our notebooks, PCs, smartphones and other electronic devices every day. We connect to servers 24/7. Technology refresh cycles are faster so devices also go obsolete just as quickly. At some point, we will have to dispose of our old devices in lieu of newer and more updated ones. In the process, businesses tend to waste resources - i.e. energy, paper and time - which could have been invested for the development of new services or products or for hiring more people.
There are a lot of things that you can do to go green on your IT environment and your workplace culture. Regardless of the size of your business or how far along you already are in the process, there’s no better time to start being ecologically responsible than now. IT vendors have already conducted major initiatives towards green products, services and practices. They are building computers with environment friendly materials and designing them so they don’t consume a lot of energy.
