Abstract

In order for the population as a whole to consider green computing an essential part of environmental responsibility, the average citizen must be made aware of the issues and motivated to act. Often the users of technology are not technically trained; hence, information must be presented in language suitable for a lay person in this area. This chapter addresses current efforts being made to provide this education. Resources available from the federal government, state governments, non-profit groups, trade associations, and colleges and universities are discussed. In particular, in preparation for this chapter, the websites of all 50 states were surveyed for appropriate information. The entire life cycle of computing equipment is covered so that businesses and individual households are able to obtain the information needed to make environmentally sound technology decisions.
