Changing Consumer Tastes and Green Computing as a Response to Climate Change

Abstract: One of the main issues that we face as a society today is our overuse of non-renewable resources and the consequences that have come with mass production and consumption. People are becoming more and more intentional with which products they choose to buy and the interest in the environmental impact of products have led companies to change how they develop and advertise products. This phenomenon is especially shown in the tech industry where green computing has emerged as one of the major methods to meet the demand for sustainable products. Green computing includes multiple strategies, and this paper especially focuses on reducing electronic waste and finding ways to use energy effectively. As people use more electricity and natural resources, there are detrimental effects towards the environment thus leading to concerns about long term consequences. There has definitely been an increase in interest towards the environmental impact of everyday products; especially our electronic devices. By changing companies' strategies to be more sustainable, they can earn goodwill from consumers and become more competitive in their market. It also allows companies to reduce costs for both themselves and the consumer. This paper discusses the role that climate change has had on consumer concerns and interests, what companies are doing to meet this need, and specifically how the tech industry is implementing green computing in order to manage waste and reduce energy consumption.

Keywords: Green Computing, Environmental Science, Conservation, Waste Reduction, Technological Impact.
