ABSTRACT

Environmental issues have become an important topic of concern over the past decade, and Information Technology (IT) services have not been left out of this trend, and for good reason. With the vast and rapid pace of technology, there is no reason why IT cannot be “green” and environmentally friendly, especially given the large influence of IS/IT on the current global business environment. There are some key components of green IT, and the direction that it will be taking in the future will be discussed here.
