Virtual Desktop Infrastructure in Higher Education Institution: Energy Efficiency as an Application of Green Computing
Kasemsap in this article recognized Green computing as a good approach for the organizations as well as individuals on the ICT sector to achieve efficiency in the way they use resources. He considered the approach as way of using computers and other related resources in a manner which is eco-friendly like implementing energy efficiency computing equipments. Through the green computing technology, Kasemsap predicted a future where some of the incidences affecting the environment currently will be minimized or their impacts managed. He quoted global warming impacts among the main environmental concern which will be highly minimized through this technology.
The agricultural sector will be the most beneficial from this technology. This is in consideration to the fact that the agricultural sector has always been on the receiving end as far the global warming is concerned. Due to global warming, there have been climatic changes which tend to stop favoring crops which initially used to be grown in certain areas hence cutting the source of income for the people in those localities. Through this technology therefore, the society will benefit a lot since the climatic conditions will be restored to their initial conditions to continue supporting the agricultural activities which used to take place in different areas.

In this article, Agrawal, Biswas & Nath focused on enlightening the audience on one of the ways green computing could easily be achieved. They considered the incredible milestones which have so far been made currently in computer technology as a way out to achieving green computing. They presented the current personal computers to have made in such a powerful manner to an extent that utilizing the entire capabilities of these computers is not possible. They proposed the idea of desktop virtualization which will enable sharing the powerful capabilities of the current computers with the help of thin client machines hence limiting energy consumption and e waste.
Through Virtual Desktop Infrastructure, the number of computers will be reduced and hence energy consumption as well as e waste will also be reduced. Considering the fact that these two are among the factors contributing to the current issue of concern as far environment is concerned, global warming, minimizing them will in turn reduce global warming. This technology will benefit agricultural industry the most. This is in consideration to the fact that the agricultural sector has always been on the receiving end as far the global warming is concerned. Through this technology therefore, the society will benefit a lot since the climatic conditions will be restored to their initial conditions to continue supporting the agricultural activities which used to take place in different areas.
Green Computing: E-Waste Management Through Recycling
Anam, A., & Syed, A. (2013). Green Computing: E-waste management through recycling. International Journal of Scientific & Engineering Research, 4(5), 1103.
Anam & Syed considered Green computing as wonderful trend towards achieving sustainable future. According to them, some of the approaches which could facilitate the achievement of green computing were: Cloud computing, Virtualization, Energy minimization and minimizing the use electronics containing harmful substances. They pointed out that despite of the fact that more attention as far as green computing has been given to energy minimization, the other approaches must also be considered if the technology is to be successful. They proposed e-waste management as an important approach to achieving green computing. They pointed out e-waste to have been a threat to the whole world. The statistics of e-waste in 2014 according to them indicated that 41.8 million metric tons of e-waste had been generated and disposed on the environment.
Since their disposal meant pollution of the environment, proper management of the waste would mean a safe environment. It is through such wastes on the environment that global warming has been on rise and causing climatic changes. The agricultural sector has been on the receiving end of these climatic changes and therefore achieving green computing will favor the agricultural sector of the economy. As a result, the society will benefit a lot since the climatic conditions will be restored to their initial conditions to continue supporting the agricultural activities which used to take place in different areas

In this study, Singh looked at some strategies towards green computing as well as the challenges behind the strategies. His proposal was based on Resource scheduling, a strategy which would reduce the number of computers used in a single working environment. According to him, this strategy will enable accurate task allocation to the CPU, network, and storage. The main aim of this strategy is to enable maximum utilization of resources. However, he indicated that for this to be achieved, well organized scheduling for both the cloud providers and the cloud users would be needed.
Considerably, Singh’s main objective was to reduce energy consumption through the reduction of number of machines under usage. Escalated energy consumptions are among the factors which have highly contributed to global warming rates which have currently hit the headlines and expected to go viral if not controlled. Because the agricultural sector is the most affected by global warming trends, it will benefit alot from this technology. This is in consideration to the fact that the agricultural sector has always been on the receiving end as far the global warming is concerned. Due to global warming, there have been climatic changes which tend to stop favoring crops which initially used to be grown in certain areas hence cutting the source of income for the people in those localities. Through this technology therefore, the society will benefit a lot since the climatic conditions will be restored to their initial conditions to continue supporting the agricultural activities which used to take place in different areas.

AlMusbahi, Anderkairi, Nahhas, AlMuhammadi & Hemalatha in this study considered computer usage as a daily necessity in the current generation and therefore advocated for responsible usage in order to avoid or minimize the harmful impacts which are associated with its usage on the environment. They termed green computing as an emerging technology to curb the problems which are caused by irresponsible usage and disposals of waste in computing environments.
They pointed at the infrastructure of organizations data center to be among the main factors that should focused on because it was among the factors that determined the amount of power consumed by data centers. They highlighted global warming as among the major problems caused by unmonitored computing environments and which could be minimized through regulating the amount of power consumed by data centers.
So, because the agricultural sector has always been on the receiving end as far the global warming is concerned, it is expected to benefit a lot from these trends. Due to global warming, there have been climatic changes which tend to stop favoring crops which initially used to be grown in certain areas hence cutting the source of income for the people in those localities. Through this technology therefore, the society will benefit a lot since the climatic conditions will be restored to their initial conditions to continue supporting the agricultural activities which used to take place in different areas.

Nijhawan & Rana in this study defined green Computing as a processing in the computing environment that is eco-friendly. They gave out some of the approaches towards green computing as the reduction in the use of dangerous products, maximizing energy efficiency in the machine lifetime and ensuring recyclability of wastes from the factories. They saw cloud computing as a commendable milestone towards achieving these goals as it has reduced energy consumption greatly. According to them, considering the proposed approaches in the computing environment would reduce emissions to the environment and which have been among the major causes of global warming.
Considering the fact that the agricultural sector has always been on the receiving end of global warming, these approaches will play great roles in the sector. Due to global warming, there have been climatic changes which tend to stop favoring crops which initially used to be grown in certain areas hence cutting the source of income for the people in those localities.

In this article, Ahuja & Muthiah saw green computing as the current technology whose aim was to reduce energy consumptions and carbon emissions to the environment. He advocated for reuse and recycle of all the waste from computing environment. Waste from these environments are mainly plastics and other materials which do not decompose and therefore when disposed anyhow on the environment brings about adverse consequences on the environment like the common case of global warming. He considered cloud computing as an important milestone towards the achievement of climatic change and reduction of emissions from energy consumption.
The agricultural industry will procure the most from this innovation. This is in thought to the way that the farming segment has dependably been in a bad way as far a dangerous atmospheric deviation is concerned. Because of a dangerous atmospheric deviation, there have been climatic changes which tend to quit favoring crops which at first used to be developed in specific territories thus cutting the wellspring of wage for the general population in those regions. Through this innovation consequently, the general public will profit a considerable measure since the climatic conditions will be reestablished to their underlying conditions to keep supporting the agrarian exercises which used to happen in various zones.
