11. • Make decisions based solely on green initiatives—without considering the impact on other areas
of business
• Respond to requests from regulators with inefficient, manually gathered data
• Seek out quick-fix solutions that treat sustainability as a one-time exercise— and put their
companies at risk of greenwashing
• Fail to connect sustainability strategies between IT and business, leading to poorly executed
projects
Silos create problems

12. But, there are more challenges
Cost
Much of the technology associated with
green living does provide benefits to the
environment but often at a much higher
cost than their traditional counterparts.
Energy-efficient appliances are designed to
use less electricity and water but they often
come with a high price tag.
The use of data centres established in cold
places like North Pole region also causes in
unnecessary cost due to high maintenance
and high quality and high cost equipment.
Payback period
The time factor is also an issue in
terms of the payback rate of certain
green living investments.
For example, replacing regular light
bulbs with compact fluorescent light
bulbs (CFLs) can help the environment
and save money, but it typically takes
about four months for them to pay
back the difference in their cost.
Also for producing green IT products
takes more cost while it unable to use
for a long time.
Rapid technology change
With the rapid change in technology, world is
innovating more consumer efficient product
day by day.
Because of that whether the product is
sufficient with the need; consumers are
willing to buy the same product with new
features. So it causes in dump the previous
version. It also affect in the green IT concept.
People are inventing new environmental
friendly IT product, but with the rapid
technology change the product are not in use
at the end. It increases the cost and wastage
