Abstract:-

“GREEN IT” is one segment of larger green tech or clean tech industry, it is really inventive strategy helping your organization to go green and minimize its environmental impact. Also called green computing it describes the study and the using of computer resources in an efficient way. Green IT starts with manufacturers producing environmentally friendly products and encouraging IT departments to consider more friendly options like virtualization, power management and proper recycling habits. The government has also recently proposed new compliance regulations which would work towards certifying data centers as green. Some criteria include using low-emission building materials, recycling, using alternative energy technologies, and other green technologies. The computer industry impacts the environment during the manufacturing, delivery, operation and end-of-life of its devices. At the same time, IT can help other parts of your organization to become more environmentally friendly, in the areas of transport, energy and more. Both paths lead to the same objective – a clear understanding of how IT and the use of IT can reduce your organization’s environmental impact while also bringing commercial benefits. This paper talks about the “never before seen” eco-inspired computer which is free from PVC (Polyvinyl chloride) Plastic material or other toxic chemical.

Keywords: - Green it, green computing, eco-friendly computers, Poly vinyl chloride, toxic chemical.

Introduction:-

Green IT refers to the study and practice of using computers and IT resources in a more efficient and environmentally responsible way. Computers and computing eat up a lot of natural resources, from the raw materials needed to manufacture them, the power used to run them, and the problems of disposing them at end of life.

Concerns have recently grown over the use of hazardous chemicals in the manufacture of consumer goods, including the rapidly growing sector of electrical and electronic equipment. Some products, including computers, can contain heavy metals and other hazardous chemicals. The ongoing manufacture of electrical/electronic equipment incorporating such chemicals has the potential to impact on the environment and human health as a result of the manufacture, use and disposal of these Products.

Computers are made of poisonous materials like lead, chromium, cadmium and mercury. If computers are buried in landfill, they can leach harmful chemicals into waterways and the environment and if burned release toxic contaminants into the air we breathe. Computers consume energy and no-one has come up with a practical solution for the potential environmental disaster of millions of obsolete computers hitting landfill sites around the world.

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is unique in its high chlorine and additives content, which makes it an environmental poison throughout its life cycle.poly Vinyl chloride is a known human carcinogen. PVC releases toxic and other persistent organic pollutants during its manufacture and disposal and cannot be readily recycled due to it chlorine and additive content. Furthermore, additives are not bound to the plastic and leach out. The data found that the amount of hazardous materials contained in a typical PC is very small.

PVC (Polyvinyl chloride) -FREE: -

PVC is the most environmentally damaging plastic. However, this PVC is used in all PCs. Despite allegations that PVC is widely found in waste PCs, the data suggests that PVC is not a major PC plastic. Brominates flame retardants (BFRs) and Polyvinyl chloride PVC have traditionally been widely used in electronic products this means they stay in the environment for a long time and accumulate in animals and humans. Many brominates flame retardants are also toxic. PVC contaminates humans and the environment throughout its lifecycle during its production, use and disposal. While all plastics pose serious threats to human health and the environment, few consumers realize that PVC is the single most environmentally damaging of all plastics. Since safer alternatives are available for virtually all uses of PVC, it is possible to protect human health and the environment by replacing and eventually phasing out this poison plastic.

IT Companies which are using BFR and PVC in their product

What this paper talks about:-

Eco-Friendly bamboo Computers

ü In 2009 Dell introduced bamboo-cased mini pc has a eco friendly product.

ü In 2010 Asus has launched the eco-friendly Bamboo Series Notebook in India.

ü Bamboo computer will use less energy.

ü Recycled casing.

ü The energy efficient machine will be made from recycled and recyclable materials where possible.

ü PC World will also pay for tree planting and other conservation projects to offset the impact of carbon emissions generated during manufacturing.

ü Designing green products includes considering the environmental impact of the materials used to make them. From the glass, plastic, and metal in our products to the paper and ink in our packaging, our goal is to continue leading the industry in reducing or eliminating environmentally harmful substances.

ü The greatest environmental challenge facing our industry today is the presence of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) in products. In keeping with our philosophy over the last decade, Apple is not waiting for legislation to ban these substances. Not only is every Mac, iPod, and phone free of PVC and BFRs, we are also qualifying thousands of components to be free of elemental bromine and chlorine, putting us years ahead of anyone in the industry.

Conclusions:-

Even today every computer is made of Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and brominates flame retardants (BFRs) plastic, which is harmful to the environment and humans. So many companies are came forward to solve this problem one of the solution is bamboo pc which reduces pollution in the environment and many other problem caused by today computers. Our paper talks about today computers should be replaced with eco-friendly computers.

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• vaporizer or
• humidifier

1. Step 1

   Before you start blowing, remember that the nasal membranes are very thin and very sensitive. With most of the blood vessels near the surface. So If you blow your nose too hard you can rupture these blood vessels and cause a bad nose bleed.

2. Step 2

   Increase the air humidity. If you breath a lot of dry air you will only further irritate your nasal problems. You can use a humidifier to keep the air in your house from drying out.

3. Step 3

   Eucalyptus steam inhalation is know for helping thin you mucus making it easier to remove by blowing your nose.

4. Step 4

   Drink plenty of fluids as this will keep your nasal mucus thin and easy to blow.

5. Step 5

   You can use saline nasal sprays to relieve your stuffy nose. The sprays cause the swollen tissues in you nose that produce and hold your mucus to shrink. This thins out your mucus making it easier for you to blow your nose.

6. Step 6

   If you don't have the money you can take a shower with hot water. Breath in through your nose to allow the steam to hydrate your membrane can to thin out your mucus.

7. Step 7

   If you don't have a shower you can boil water and place in a bowl or cup. cover both your head and container of the boiling water with the towel so you breath in the steam with your nose. Continue to breath till you most blow your nose. Takes about 10 minutes to be problem free for about 10 hours.

Cold and flu season often bring with it a bevy of runny noses. If you're prone to allergies, then you likely experience a runny nose all year long. Whatever the cause of your dripping nose, there are steps you can take to get rid of it. Most cures are temporary solutions. If you have a runny nose that continues for several weeks, see your doctor. He will help you determine the cause of the issue and then address it properly. In the interim, there are various ways to stop your runny nose.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Antihistamine
• Cold medication
• Nasal spray
• Humidifier
• Salt water
• Eyedropper
• Ginger root

1. Step 1

   Take an antihistamine. Available over-the-counter, antihistamines work well for runny noses that are caused by allergies. Opt for a non-drowsy antihistamine, as regular ones will make you sleepy.

2. Step 2

   Purchase cold medication if your runny nose is caused by a cold or virus. The medication will dry up mucus, eliminating your runny nose. Follow the specific medication's instructions regarding usage.

3. Step 3

   Use nasal spray. Available in any drug store, you spray the medicine directly up your nose. When you have a runny nose, the tissue inside your nose is swollen. Nasal sprays help to reduce the swelling, thereby improving the issue. You should only use nasal sprays for a few days. If used for longer, they can worsen the issue.

4. Step 4

   Sleep with a humidifier in the room. Dry air worsens a runny nose while moist air helps to thin mucus. When you use a humidifier, the air will be more moist.

5. Step 5

   Mix 1 teaspoon of salt with 1 cup of warm water. Put some of the mixture into an eyedropper. Tilt your head back and release a few drops into your nose. As you breathe in deeply, the salt water solution will irrigate your nasal passages. Repeat the process several times to fully cleanse your nose. You may also purchcase saline nasal drops at a drug store.

6. Step 6

   Chew a small piece of ginger root. Swallow the juice that you extract from the root. This home remedy has been shown to increase circulation and reduce mucus. Repeat the process three to four times a day to stop your runny nose.

Hyderabad, May 31: It is a question of raw talent vs. well-tutored preparedness. With a number of students from the state from a handful of educational institutions making it to the top-10 in national-level competitive exams like IIT-JEE and AIEEE, the issue of “coaching-centric education” has came to the fore again.

Perhaps to make this point, IIT-Madras director Prof M. S. Ananth had recently said: “I am looking for students with raw intelligence and not those with a mind prepared by coaching class tutors. The coaching classes only help students in mastering question papers or in pattern recognition skills. By attending IIT coaching classes, students are learning a wrong lesson that the ends justify the means.”

There is already a debate raging at IITs on whether the JEE is admitting B.Tech students with the best coaching rather than the best students. The view is that the IITs have been only able to attract students who have been “conditioned for the JEE” by high-profile coaching centres in Kota and Hyderabad and those who can afford them could easily succeed.

For instance, of the 4.5 lakh IIT-JEE applicants from the entire country this year, seven students from Andhra Pradesh have figured in the top-10 list. Another classic example is the fact that of the total 11 lakh applicants for AIEEE-2010, eight AP candidates were in the top-10 list. These ranks were not secured by students in the reservation categories but in the open category.

Most importantly, these rankers have not come from different institutes but hail from only two institutes. Between them these two institutes have produced 90 per cent of the top-10 ranks in open category in both IIT-JEE and AIEEE. Surprisingly, many of these toppers had no idea what “general elections” or “delimitation of election constituencies” meant.

Academicians blame the coaching-centric exam system for this lack of awareness among students. They say that such ranks were possible due to the coaching-centric training being implemented by educational institutions in the state.

To further prove the point, it is expected that nearly 25 per cent of the total seats in both IIT-JEE and AIEEE will be occupied by students from AP.

“Earlier it was Kota and now it’s Hyderabad. They select students with average intelligence in maths and science subjects at Class VII and start intensive training for five years — till Class XII — with the sole aim of cracking the IIT-JEE and AIEEE. Then ranks will definitely follow,” said Mr K. Shyamsunder Rao, a senior teacher at a prominent corporate college.

Narayana Group of Institutions bagged six of the top-10 ranks in IIT-JEE and eight of the top-10 ranks in AIEEE this year. When asked, Dr P. Narayana, chairman of Narayana Group said, “We could achieve the feat this year as we were training these students right from Class VII. We set up ‘Olympiad Schools’ five years ago just for training students for IIT-JEE and AIEEE. The first batch completed Class XII this year and the results are here to be seen.”

He, however, admitted that though they had secured good ranks in earlier years, this year’s feat was unmatchable. “Earlier, we had only junior colleges wherein we gave admissions to students after they completed Class X from different schools. The two years time in Intermediate was not sufficient to train them for IIT-JEE and AIEEE in a complete manner. Now, with the launch of our own schools from Class VII, we can train students comprehensively for five years till Class XII. The concept proved to be a success as we could achieve top-10 ranks with our very first batch of students,” Dr Narayana said.

The other institute which bagged top ranks in both the exams is the Sri Chaitanya Group. It also started its own “techno schools” to train students from Class VII.

“What I had dreamt of five years ago has been realised now. Many of our students could secure top-10 ranks in IIT-JEE and AIEEE with intensive training from Class VII,” said Dr B. S. Rao, chairman of Sri Chaitanya Group.

These colleges expect many more top-10 ranks in future as they have made considerable changes in their training programme right from Class VII.
