For this assignment, we are tasked to find 3 URL’s that talks on “Green Campus Computing”.
As I search the net, I have come to find the following URL’s:
My Suggestion:
Departments and their Green Initiatives:
Plant Operations
o Creating and implementing sustainability initiatives around campus through: o Energy Conservation
o Water Conservation
o Waste Management
o Air Quality
o Environmental Projects
o Turf Management
o Transportation
Procurement Services
o Promoting greenpurchasing
o Offers a list of green suppliers to purchase from
o Highlighting the importance of being aware of the impact UW has on the environment
UCIST - University Committee for Information, Systems, and Technology
o Committed to creating a campus-wide Green Computing policy
o To date have formed a subcommittee for Green Computing implementation
My Suggestion:
Better if these programs are integrated in some curricular activities, for the students to integrate environmental awareness to their academic activities.
As I search the net, I have come to find the following URL’s:
From this URL, a program is being proposed by a non profit organization. The program is: The Green Campus Program, is a nonprofit organization working toward campus sustainability through encouraging energy preservation, energy efficient student practices and lowering institutional energy costs. The Alliance to Save Energy created the Green Campus Program that is student. The program is dedicated to strive towards maximum energy efficiency throughout campus.
My Suggestion:
In order for the school to adapt it in an efficient way, the project should be a college-based program. So that, form time to time college/departments head will be reminding the students. Because in my own opinion it’s quite difficult to handle such program if its handled by school heads especially that there are activities that divert the attention of students.
In this URL, a school is involved. Green Initiatives insides the campus is very rampant. Designated departments are having their own will and initiatives on pursuing their program on Green Campus Computing.

This third URL talks mainly on promoting the efficient way of energy conservation. They even suggested Ten ways to REDUCE energy usage. Some of the ways are the following: Turn off lights, appliances and computers when not in use. Even for a few minutes! Replace incandescent bulbs with compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFL). Buy Energy Star® labeled appliances. When doing laundry wash full loads and use cold or warm rinses Take shorter or cooler showers.
My Suggestion:
Better if there are policies abiding these things to have a monitored enhancement projection on the role of the students on environmental awareness.
