E-waste contains valuable metals such as gold, silver, copper and nickel. It also contains expensive to produce and relatively easy to recycle aluminum and heavy metals lead and mercury. However, significant amounts of E-waste ends up buried in landfill, from where the lead and mercury leaches out, contaminates soil and water and enters the human food chain. http://ramin.com.au/itgovernance/green-ICT-e-waste.shtml Wed, 5 May 2010 05:00:00 GMT Abstract: This article explores the imperatives for green Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). There are financial and environmental reasons for green ICT. Energy costs are increasing and greenhouse gas emission need to be reduced. Obsolete computers and other electronic equipment are a hazardous waste, their disposal can be costly and their recycling valuable. http://www.ramin.com.au/itgovernance/green-ICT-governance-imperatives.shtml Thu, 15 Apr 2010 05:00:00 GMT http://www.finance.gov.au/e-government/strategy-and-governance/sustainable-ict/quick-wins.html Thu, 23 Jul 2009 10:00:00 GMT Chapter 2.

The cooling for the ICT and other data centre support systems uses the remainder. Modern data centres are more efficient in their use of electricity. It is estimated that using modern data centres would avoid $35 million per annum in electricity costs alone. http://finance.gov.au/e-government/infrastructure/australian-government-data-centre-strategy.html Fri, 19 Mar 2010 12:00:00 GMT http://www.nascio.org/newsroom/pressrelease.cfm?id=60 Fri, 12 Mar 2010 12:00:00 GMT http://www.aph.gov.au/senate/committee/clac_ctte/healthcare_identifier/info.htm Wed, 24 Feb 2010 12:00:00 GMT http://listserv.csu.edu.au/pipermail/ictgov/2009/000285.html Wed, 18 Nov 2009 03:00:00 GMT http://listserv.csu.edu.au/pipermail/ictgov/2010/000301.html Wed, 24 Feb 2010 00:00:00 GMT http://www.nascio.org/publications/researchBriefs.cfm Mon, 30 Nov 2009 00:00:00 GMT http://www.tomw.net.au/blog/2009/10/canberra-carbon-cops-certified.html Wed, 28 Oct 2009 23:00:00 GMT http://www.ramin.com.au/itgovernance/as8015-on-googlebooks.shtml Tue, 01 Sep 2009 01:30:00 GMT http://ramin.com.au/marg/local-community-engagement-2-0-public-sphere-2.shtml Mon, 20 Jul 2009 10:08:00 GMT http://wiki.katelundy.com.au/PublicSphere2 Tue, 30 Jun 2009 10:08:00 GMT http://www.australianit.news.com.au/story/0,24897,25742224-5013040,00.html Mon, 06 Jul 2009 22:14:00 GMT http://www.katelundy.com.au/2009/05/29/public-sphere-2-open-government-policy-and-practice/ Mon, 22 Jun 2009 22:14:00 GMT http://tomw.net.au/moodle/course/view.php?id=12 Mon, 9 Feb 2009 22:14:00 GMT http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QM2MziEiWc Tue, 20 Jan 2009 22:14:00 GMT http://listserv.csu.edu.au/pipermail/ictgov/2009-January/000248.html Mon, 5 Jan 2009 22:14:00 GMT http://tomw.net.au/moodle/course/view.php?id=10 Sun, 16 Nov 2008 20:00:00 GMT http://astore.amazon.com/corporategovernance-20/102-9823356-1739347?%5Fencoding=UTF8&node=2 Tue, 21 Oct 2008 13:20:00 EST http://astore.amazon.com/corporategovernance-20/detail/0521826845 Tue, 21 Oct 2008 13:20:00 EST http://astore.amazon.com/corporategovernance-20/detail/0566087987/104-3779911-6143943 Tue, 21 Oct 2008 13:20:00 EST http://www.ramin.com.au/itgovernance/IT-Governance.shtml Fri, 26 Sep 2008 13:20:00 EST http://listserv.csu.edu.au/pipermail/ictgov/2008-August/000219.html Mon, 4 Aug 2008 13:20:00 EST http://ramin.com.au/itgovernance/nodutyofcare-the-governance-of-ict.html Fri, 18 Jul 2008 12:20:00 EST http://www.ramin.com.au/itgovernance/iso-iec-38500.html Thu, 10 Jul 2008 12:20:00 EST http://www.ramin.com.au/itgovernance/no-duty-of-care-governance-of-ict.shtml Sat, 26 Apr 2008 12:20:00 EST http://www.ramin.com.au/itgovernance/ICT-in-corporate-governance-the-australian-experience.shtml Thu, 21 Feb 2008 12:20:00 EST http://www.ramin.com.au/itgovernance/index.html Sun, 6 Jan 2008 11:20:00 EST http://www.ramin.com.au/itgovernance/IT-Governance-Survey.html Thu, 19 Jul 2007 15:31:00 EST http://www.ramin.com.au/itgovernance/IT-Governance-Discussion-Paper.html Tue, 17 Jul 2007 18:31:00 EST http://www.ramin.com.au/itgovernance/intro-as8015-0.shtml Wed, 27 Jun 2007 14:30:00 EST http://www.ramin.com.au/itgovernance/as8015.html Thu, 21 Jun 2007 10:00:00 EST http://www.ramin.com.au/itgovernance/corporate-governance-of-ict-education.html Thu, 21 Jun 2007 10:00:00 EST http://www.ramin.com.au/itgovernance/guide-to-applying-as8015-outline.shtml Wed, 13 Jun 2007 10:00:00 EST http://www.ramin.com.au/itgovernance/smartcard.html Wed, 9 May 2007 10:00:00 EST http://www.ramin.com.au/itgovernance/ict_governance.html Wed, 9 May 2007 10:00:00 EST http://www.ramin.com.au/itgovernance/corporategovernance.html Wed, 9 May 2007 10:00:00 EST http://www.ramin.com.au/itgovernance/tip2.html Wed, 9 May 2007 10:00:00 EST http://www.ramin.com.au/itgovernance/tip1.html Wed, 2 May 2007 10:00:00 EST http://www.ramin.com.au/itgovernance/value-of-online-services.shtml Fri, 23 Mar 2007 10:00:00 EST http://www.ramin.com.au/itgovernance/notforprofit-governanceseminar-slides.html Fri, 9 Jun 2006 10:00:00 EST http://www.ramin.com.au/itgovernance/corpgovict-slides.html Thu, 2 Sep 2004 10:00:00 EST http://www.ramin.com.au/itgovernance/ictgovpaper2.html Wed, 15 Oct 2003 10:00:00 EST http://www.ramin.com.au/itgovernance/ictgovpaper.html Fri, 29 Aug 2003 10:00:00 EST http://www.ramin.com.au/itgovernance/ictgov.html Tue, 24 Sep 2002 10:00:00 EST
