Environmental Impacts of ICT
- Use recycled paper or store data on a hard drive to save cutting down forests
- Only replacing computer parts where possible rather than
replacing the entire piece because manufacturing of ICT equipment
uses natural resources and produces carbon emissions
- Dispose of computer
waste carefully. If it is
just dump it in
landfill then harmful
chemicals could
escape into water
supplies to prevent
plant life and animals
from surviving
- Reduce the energy
consumed by switching
off the computer or
peripheral devices when
not in use
- ICT equipment tends to generate heat, open
a window rather than turn on the air
conditioning
- Businesses should consider using video
conferencing to reduce the carbon footprint
that employees would create if they travelled to
the meeting
