Processors and chipsets

idea posted by Pranav Sinha Sales/BD Manager, Oracle
A computer system is made up of mainly two ingredients The Processors and chipsets. Use of an efficient chipset can make your pc more environmental friendly. Some energy saving processors in the market are AMD Athlon 64 or Intel Core 2-series processor, the latest Athlon X2 and Core 2 stepping reduce power considerably over its earlier products. The latest processor series Plethora of Core 2 by Intel is another energy saving series, So, if you are going to buy a new processor, take care about the choice of processor.

Video cards

idea posted by Chandan Nene Sales/BD Manager, SanDisk
I agree with pranav but another efficient way to conserve energy is with the use of integrated videos with motherboard. The use of separate video card consumes more energy. Motherboards spitting out integrated video via DVI or HDMI aren't that hard to find, so power-users with their massive LCDs don't have to suffer.   Generally, a video card is required for gaming purposes and foe decent 3D performance, but this dilemma can be overcome by using AMD Radeon HD 3850 processor as it draws only 13.5W energy when idle as compare to other processors like NVIDIA 8800 GT and NVIDIA G92.
So this helps in a PC going Green.

Power supply

idea posted by Anuj Mishra Sales/BD Manager, Infosys
 Power supplies are the component of a computer that supplies power to the rest of the parts in a computer system. The amount of power supply is directly proportional to the data installed. So, it is a smart option to store only required data in a computer and attach only required devices to it.

Computer size

idea posted by Dayanand Deshpande Senior Consultant, Ernst & Young
Notebooks are less prone to waste energy, so they are called as the most power efficient as well. Secondly, they are made to run on battery and hence as a result saves energy most of the time. So, notebook users today can save more energy and can promote the concept of greenest computers as well.

i saw a keynote address of steve jobs a year back where he went in to explain the make of their new line of  iMac And Metal Laptops. first these laptops and imac are made up of recycled aluminium compound which can be later again be used after the disposal of the computer.
manufacturing and using a MacBook — our most popular notebook — results in 460 kg of CO2e emissions over four years of use. According to the EPA, that's about the same amount the average car emits in a month.
MacBook, MacBook Pro, and MacBook Air have highly recyclable aluminum and glass enclosures, mercury-free displays and arsenic-free display glass. Printed circuit boards, electrical components, mechanical parts, and internal cables are BFR-free and PVC-free.
Apple products are compliant with the European Directive on the Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment, also known as the RoHS directive. Examples of materials restricted by RoHS include lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, and PBB and PBDE flame retardants. As a result of our proactive approach to hazardous substances, Apple met many of the RoHS requirements long before the July 2006 deadline.

Anuj what I think is mobile phones with two sims cards will not affect cell phone industry in a negative manner, we can see more number of people buying 2 sim phone. And also the telecom industry will benefit as user base will increase.
There are many companies which take their gadgets back after their life is over though there are less companies which offer this facility in India but still there are some. And each and everything hs to start from somewhere or the other.
If you make some small investments on promotional campaigns, this will fetch you great returns. Advertise about your products using electronic, print or online mediums.
