Our Introduction to the project

Hey this was out project that we explained online
Here we have some information about it:

Group 3: Green PC - Environment Friendly Computer
Green PC - Environment Friendly Computer

Green PC:



This is a Group of Students of Computer Science in URBE, Rafael Belloso Chacín University.

This page is oriented to find how can we help with informatics and computers technologies to find a solution
to this big enviromental problem. We will see how small problems can turn into a really big problems for the
Environment.
We will provide some solutions and tips on how can everybody help to the conservation of our planet

1. Mind Map of the project


2. The Problem
The problem is usually cheaper and more convenient to buy a new machine to accommodate the newer generations of technology than it is to upgrade the old and will have many obsolete computers, many of which will be destined for landfills, incinerators or hazardous waste exports. And the ignorance of the people around the world about the issue of the enormous amount of energy that computers spend when they are used in a bad and unefficient way.



3. Methodology
Our mission can be archived by making deals with most popular websites on internet to lend some space to show the advertizements, with a maximum size of 500x500 pixels. Some of them could be: Google, eBay, Amazon, Cnet, IGN, CNN, NBC, and other news and technology websites.
And some national websites like: URBE, LUZ, MercadoLibre, Globovision, Venevision, RCTV, Noticias24, and others.

Also, we could work with social networks like myspace, facebook, hi5 and others, to show advertizements every 10 or 20 clicks on links inside the website, and showing an adverticement on the 'Home' screen of the users.

The companies that help us with this campaign by showing the Ads and following the steps that we provide them, will earn a badge that they can show on their webpage with the words "Transfer the Green", that eventually will become a known or recognized symbol of enviromental help.

4. Our Engineering Solution
Create a digital campaign to make that brand name manufacturers to finance and responsibility for their products when they become obsolete. And adverticements that help people realize the kind of damage they do unintentionally to the enviroment, and giving quick and easy steps that they can do for energy saving or power management, that will make a huge impact to solving global warming.

Some of the tips are :

1. Turn your computer off completely when you know you will not be using it for several hours, such as overnight.
2. Save energy when your computer is not shut down completely by setting the power management into “sleep” mode after a certain amount of non-use, or setting the power management to turn off your screen or harddrives after some time.
3. Increase your memory (RAM) to reduce disk usage.
4. Upgrade to an LCD flat panel monitor instead of a CRT monitor.
