Description
With today's electronic systems consuming massive amounts of energy, and improper disposal of old equipment threatening to release dangerous toxicity into the atmosphere, any company whose IT department isn't actively working to shrink its carbon footprint isn't just hurting the environment...it is also probably wasting money. "Green Tech" provides readers with practical, easily implemented strategies for sustainable computing.
