Abstract Green computing is the study and practice of using computing resources efficiently. The goals are similar to green chemistry; that is reduce the use of hazardous materials‚ maximize energy efficiency during the product ’s lifetime‚ and promote recyclability or biodegradability of defunct products and factory waste. Taking into consideration the popular use of information technology industry‚ it has to lead a revolution of sorts by turning green in a manner no industry has ever done before
