3. # Efficient Computing
   How efficient is our infrastructure? Google-designed data centers use about half the energy of a typical data center. As a result, the energy used per Google search is very small; to be precise, Google currently use about 1kJ (0.0003 kWh) of energy to answer the average query. This translates into roughly .2g of CO2 (for non-metric users, that's 0.007 ounces). Not only is energy use very small, web searches often take the place of more carbon- and time-intensive activities, such as driving a car to a library or spending hours navigating shopping malls.

The Google Store is going green. We only have one Earth and we want to do our best to take care of her (the mother nature), so Google have worked hard to make our store more eco-friendly. From organic cotton T-shirts to pencils made of recycled blue jeans, you'll find that most (though not all) Google products are now made of recycled material or other stuff that goes easy on our planet. We are also using more environmentally sound, recycled polybags, to individually package your items and to protect your items during transit.


Semoga... perusahaan-perusahaan besar lainnya juga melakukan pengurangan dampak pemanasan global yang dapat dilakukan dengan berbagai cara.
Jika pun perusahaan-perusahaan besar itu tidak memulai melakukan hal tersebut, mulailah dari diri kita sendiri.
