Abstract
The rapid growth of
digital technology has made computers, smartphones, and online services crucial
for daily life. These technologies enhance productivity and communication but
also consume significant electricity and generate electronic waste. Green Computing
aims to reduce the environmental impact of information technology by promoting
energy efficiency, responsible resource utilization, and proper disposal of
electronic devices. This study evaluates user awareness, knowledge, behavior,
and perceptions related to Green Computing through a structured questionnaire.
The study is based on a sample of 20 respondents, including students and
working professionals. Data was analyzed using percentage distribution and
average score methods. The findings reveal that while many users practice
energy-saving behaviors such as turning off unused devices and using
power-saving modes, their awareness of Green Computing remains moderate. The
primary barrier identified is lack of awareness. The study concludes that
awareness programs and educational initiatives can significantly promote
sustainable computing practices and environmental protection.
