Discussion on: How "green" is your code?

Great topic. There are quite many resources on Green ICT in French, but very little if nothing in English. What I learned lately is that it is not so much about efficient code, but more about considering the impact of the service end to end. And when you do that, the impact of building the devices (PCs, phones, tablets) far exceeds the impact of the running code.
Now, that running code can be really efficient (and the service built differently) to reduce the need to have to replace the device to use the service.
Quite an amazing journey, clearly in its infancy, but with very critical impact in the medium term.
