Using green information technology includes power management, server virtualization, regulatory compliance, use of renewable energy sources, eco-labeling of IT products, and environment-related risk mitigation.

Open $ource

Open Source software is becoming the new wave of the future, and possibly the end of Microsoft's monopoly on software distribution. Open source software promotes "peer production" and allows the production and development of source materials, especially source code. Most Open Source software is available to the public for free and serves to eliminate the access costs of the consumer and the creatro by reducing copyright restrictions. Open Source development will ideally lead to the creation of additional works that will benefit society.
