- Abstract
Climate change is a serious concern for all living beings and states. The Right to life and the Right to development are both integral for human beings. Development in technology is a necessity but it also raises concerns for its impact on the environment. Handling, recycling, and reusing e-waste has been promoted over the last few years at different levels worldwide. However, we still need to find more solutions to reduce the waste generated by the development of technologies and its consequences. From this arises the concept of sustainable computing also termed Green technology or green IT. Green computing focuses on the use of technology keeping in mind its impact on the environment and thus Sustainability comes into the picture. This paper analyzes the concept of Green computing, its impact on the environment, and green computing implementation in India, challenges, regulations, and suggestions.
