ITPEC FE Morning April 2018 — Question 76 of 80
Green by IT vs. Green of IT — using IT to reduce environmental impact outside of IT itself
Green by IT means leveraging IT solutions to reduce environmental impact in non-IT activities (e.g., reducing travel, paper use, or energy consumption in business operations).
Green of IT means making IT infrastructure itself more environmentally friendly (e.g., energy-efficient servers, proper e-waste disposal).
- •Web conferencing replaces physical travel → reduces CO₂ emissions from transportation
- •This is IT solving a non-IT environmental problem → Green by IT
Why not others:
- a) Efficient in-house software improves IT itself → Green of IT
- b) A powerful data centre is not an environmental initiative
- c) Desktop PCs consume more energy than thin clients → opposite of green
Key rule: "Green by IT" = IT helps the environment outside IT; "Green of IT" = making IT itself greener.
