WHY GREENIT?
We currently use technology in a very inefficient way and on average use just a small proportion of the capability of say for example a desktop computer. Many online servers also only use a small percentage of their storage capacity and processing capabilities.
All this waste processing power and storage space equates to waste energy both in the manufacturing process of the computer and in the running of the equipment.
By using only what we need we can drive down our energy bills and reduce pressure on an already highly strained energy infrastructure, reducing our carbon emissions and therefore impact on the environment.
By buying only what we really need we can reduce the amount of raw materials that need to be mined from the earth and reduce the need to over harvest the earths natural resources and the energy needed to extract them.
By taking a greener approach to how we use IT and better planning from the start we can achieve the following:
> Reduced energy use and therefore reduced energy expenditure
> Carbon emission reductions
> Improved corporate image
> Reduced Total Cost of Ownership
> Reduced end of life recycling costs.
> Reduce demand for oil and other fossil fuels.
> Reduce the use of chemicals and other hazardous substances.
