Momentum behind Green Computing campaign

Green Computing Charter will help to reduce IT operating costs and benefit the environment with these guidelines:

1. Find out how much energy your IT systems use and monitor ongoing consumption levels.
2. Ensure unused equipment is turned off when it is not being used.
3. Educate staff to the benefits of saving energy and recycling.
4. Establish a code of practice designed to minimise unnecessary printing.
5. Identify IT management practices that reduce power consumption.
6. When purchasing new IT equipment, chose energy-saving devices that have been manufactured in an environmentally-conscious fashion.
7. Dispose of old hardware responsibly; send old PCs to be reconditioned and recycled.

Post your thoughts on these guidelines.
