this links are sites where we can see what is "green campus computing" and what are the stuffs closely related to it.

it was stated in the sites that energy consumption greatly affect global warming. using energy emits a little amount of CO2. well may be just a little, but try to think how many gadgets that need electricity are being used around the world. remember that BIG THINGS COME FROM SMALL THINGS! even a little amount of CO2 will result to a big something when it builds up, add it up to the CO2 that human emits. so going back to the computing thing, green campus computing focuses on the area where energy is being used to computing. talking about computing, we are talking about COMPUTERS. it concerns the solution on how to reduce the causes of global warming through computing.

so how can we take part on this so-called "Green Campus Computing"?

*turn off PC when not in use.
*when leaving thew computer turned ON while downloading or other stuffs that don't need the use of a monitor, turn off the monitor.
*dont turn on the computer when it is not ready to use and so to the printer.
*WHEN USING A SLOW COMPUTER, DONT DARE TO HESITATE ON BUYING UPGRADE ACCESSORIES. REMEMBER! THE FASTER THE COMPUTER IS, THE SHORTER TIME NEEDED TO USE IT. AND THE SHORTER THE TIME FOR COMPUTING, LESS ENERGY MEANS LESS HEAT!!!

i hope USEP could afford to buy FASTER COMPUTERS.
