what is green IT?

In recent times everything that sits around the corner is ‘green’. Concerning IT we could see many headlines about Green IT. The main point is that Green IT is not just the savings in Data Centers. The topic of Data Center savings is well covered and it’s widely known that this ‘works’.
But, what is with other aspects of using IT innovations to generate savings & reduce CO2 emissions and energy consumption?
First, the public transportation is used enough in some countries (certainly in Croatia) – with innovations in that sector this could be changed, specially after the rise of oil prices in last months.
Second, the savings in the energy consumption can be achieved in government offices and other public sector buildings. Also private houses and flats can be managed smartly with watching on external temperature or other factors which could be the ground for new innovations or inventions.
