initiatives and strategies that reduce the environmental
footprint of technology.Compriseenergy use and consumables,
including hardware, electricity, fuel and paper among
othersReduceBecause of these reductions, Green ICT initiatives also
produce cost savings in energy use, purchases, management and
support, in addition to environmental benefits. ProduceBeyond cost
savings and environmental benefits, some initiatives may address

Research in Green ITIts high time that Mauritius also embarks in
research on Green ICTAs first stage research focus in the Mauritian
context should be : Investigating on awareness of Green ICTStudying
energy consumption of IT equipmentPolicy buildingIT asset

Mauritius Researchers should be encouraged to embark on research
and collaborate in projects related to Green ICT through proper
funding
