This increase in power usage can impact greenhouse gas emissions and power supply needs. There is also a huge increase in electronic waste (e-waste) that needs to managed in order to keep the environment clean and safe. Green computing is important because it is helping to minimize the energy used in computing by educating consumers on efficient ways to keep power usage low, by creating more economic electronics, and by encouraging safe and complete recycling. Green computing even includes changing government policy to encourage recycling and lowering energy use by individuals and businesses.
