Why The Burke/Lonvig Model is Green IT From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Green computing is the study and practice of using computing resources efficiently. The primary objective of such a program is to account for the triple bottom line, an expanded spectrum of values and criteria for measuring organizational (and societal) success. The goals are similar to green chemistry; 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. Modern IT systems rely upon a complicated mix of people, networks and hardware; as such, a green computing initiative must be systemic in nature, and address increasingly sophisticated problems. Elements of such a solution may comprise items such as end user satisfaction, management restructuring, regulatory compliance, disposal of electronic waste, telecommuting, virtualization of server resources, energy use, thin client solutions, and return on investment (ROI).

Shipment per order? You might claim that print on demand and manufacturing on demand might have some negative impacts on the environment because of shipment per order. About the 2 major players on this marked I can tell: Recently Zazzle.com has established Zazzle.co.uk to minimize shipment costs to Europe. Cafepress has a Canadian, an Australian and an UK web site. But the products comes from USA. Customs duties and VAT are added to products when they enter into Europe. A new European player becomes better and better. Maybe Spreadshirt.com from Leipzig, Germany can match the American suppliers. Spreadshirt.coms prices are in EURO including VAT. Inside EU there are no customs duties. Very mu more comfortable to European Customers. Im testing it. The Green IT Case Print and Manufacturing on demand and CUSTOMIZATION – The Green IT Case
