Green IT is here to stay
Any wayCut the green computing is here to stay. Laptop get more efficient, smaller and safer for the planet. The EPA estimates that over the next five years purchases of EPEAT registered computers could reduce hazardous waste by 4 million pounds and save enough energy to power two million homes.
