4. INTRODUCTION 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” (People, Planet, Profit), success. Why?  computer energy is often wasteful  printing is often wasteful  pollution  toxicity

5. Energy Star: One of the first manifestations of the green computing movement was the launch of energy star program back in 1992. 1. History of Green Computing:
