2.3+Environment

Because of their huge electricity consumption and the increase in their consumption in a new facility, which consumes approximately the same amount of electricity 80,000 US homes. Moreover their data centers use up a lot of energy; 62% coal and 32%nuclear. Which companies are fairly green? Yahoo, Google and Amazon. Twitter is also green, to some extent. Why don't companies want to disclose their energy consumption? They don’t want others to know what they did or what they had to do to reach to the position they are in now, and they don’t want to start a arms race with its competitors to fight for a company that has a good image to appeal to its customers. Is cloud computing green? Not necessarily, as it already accounts for approximately 2% of the world’s electricity consumption, and it is predicted that it will rise, mainly because data centers require a lot of energy to run. It is green to some extent individuals don’t need to use a lot of energy to save their data on a hard disk, and that you can reduce the amount of materials used. Determine if use of IT often reduces environmental impacts or not. Yes it does, because if something was electronically saved, it can save paper. Moreover, It has been said that there are less carbon emissions produced when music is downloaded of the web, rather than bought in CD stores, because you don’t need to use CDs. || 2.3_ewaste || Photograph of Earth or other planets made by means of artificial satellites Sources: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellite_imagery 2.
