5. Summary
This topic may relate to my life because we live in a time that we all should be aware about global warming and the causes of it. This doesn't mean that people will stop using their technology, but if we have the opportunity to make a difference by not getting out of our "comfort zone" will be very good. If I have the opportunity to buy technology that is Eco friendly, then I would, since I am getting what I want but I am also helping out. With Green Computing this will be possible.

6. Is there companies or organizations that are against this? Why?
