The Need to GO GREEN !!

Globally, the concept of GREEN IT is more popular with the high level of awareness and education about the clean and green environment initiatives. India is a rapidly growing economy but even with its rampant carbon emissions India is not required to cut its emissions because of its ‘developing’ nation status. India accounts for 4% of the global carbon emissions. Some other facts that help us understand the criticality of taking constructive measures are in terms of:

Carbon footprint — India ranks fourth in CO2 emissions, Road transport accounts for 10% of individual carbon footprints. Household wastes also contribute significantly.

E-waste — E-waste is also lacking in proper management and disposal of industrial waste specially the e-waste that is derived from the electronics and IT hardware industries. As per a United Nations report, by 2020, India's e-waste from old computers will jump to an alarming rate of 500% from 2007 levels. Lack of government policy on e-waste is catalyzing the problem. E-wastes are currently recycled in a crude way by the informal unorganized sector that could potentially be a health hazard.

This highly depends on various macroeconomic factors like Government Regulations, Climate Policy and Energy Management protocols.
