Environmentally Sustainable Green Computing Practices among Indian youth

Abstract

Technological advancements have made electronics and electric devices an integral part of our lives. E waste generation has also grown in recent years as more electronic devices are being produced each year. To attain sustainable development, adopting eco-friendly practices like Green Computing is crucial. Primary research was conducted to examine the awareness and adoption of green computing by Indian youths in various stages including acquisition, usage, and disposal. The study discovered that buying patterns and usage methods play a substantial part in promoting green computing habits while the act of disposing e-waste has an insignificant impact. Additionally, several factors affect people's approach toward environmental computing practices. It is recommended according to the findings that organizations prioritise on creating and implementing green computing strategies, with an emphasis on encouraging sustainable e-waste disposal procedures.
