The Environmental Protectin Agency (EPA) created the Energy Star program. The goal is to reducing power requirements for system units, monitors, and printers. For more information, please refer to http://www.greenpc.com.au/
The Green PC
The basic elements of the Green PC are :
~ system unit :
By using the portable computers, we can : uses the energy-saving microprocessor, the portable computers can shift to sleep mode when not in operation, replaces the conventional power supply unit with an adapter that requires less electricity and eliminatesthe cooling fan.
~ display :
Made more energy efficient by using flat panels, special power-down monitors, and screen-saver software.
~ manufacuring :
Intel, Apple,Compaq and others are using fewer harmful chemicals in production. Particular attention is given to chlorofluorocarbons(CFCs) in solvents and cleaning agents. Not all the manufacturing are using this kind of chemical to create a new computer.
Personal Responsibility
~ conserve :
The EPA estimates that 30-40% of computer users leave their computer running days, night & weekends. 80% of monitor are on, no one is looking at it. To solve this problems we can use the screen-saver programs that blank the computer screen after 3 - 5 minutes of inactivity.
~recycle :
The things always recycle that we can see is papers. Other recycle items include computer boxes, packaging material, printer catridges & floopy disks.

~educate :
Carefully and learn more about ecological dangers of all types. Make you concerns to known manufacturers & retail agencies.
Summary :
As a user of computers,we need to take responsible to the environment protection. Nowaday, many people already have their own computer, but they are not use it with wisely. Some of us will open their computer in whole day, they also not turn off their computer when not to use it. This is a electrical wasting behaviour. The higher technology are create the more pollution of environment. So, we suggest all the users of computer please shut down your computer when not to use its.
