Whether it's protecting privacy, promoting open source software, designing sustainable systems, or using the Internet as a tool to promote social change, they've all helped make software development look different today than it did just a few years ago.
By applying green coding, software companies can not only contribute to environmental protection, but also reduce their energy costs and strengthen their reputation as an environmentally conscious organization. In the following sections, we will present five examples of Green Coding and use code examples to illustrate how sustainability and efficiency can be combined in software development.
