Introduction for Green ICT

 While the world enjoy the benefits of ICT in present, the impacts of ICT to
the environment slowly but surely is being realized.
 Not only do computers and other ICT infrastructures consume significant
amount of energy, ICT hardware also poses serious threat to the environment
