Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This issue aims to examine the importance and awareness of Green Information Technology (IT) and the significance of sustainability, as well as strategies and models related to it. These topics have become a buzzword among users, organisations, researchers and academics, with ICT usage and inappropriate recycling having started to harm Mother Nature, and the majority of the damage carried out by human beings; as a result, we need to confront this problem as soon as possible to allow the seventh generation to live in similar conditions as us, as we currently have no plan B for the planet. We can tackle this problem by introducing sustainability and meaning and awareness among the new generation and discussing the new green information technologies in general and examining the strategies and models which need to be adopted to minimize the effects of these problems through actions from both individuals and organizations. This will be achieved by integrating and practising sustainability in all our everyday activities, i.e., truth, beauty, moral goodness, economic opportunity, justices, liberty, physical security, cultural creativity, natural environment, high quality of life, good education and political, law, social and technology needs, and this will lead to making our lives healthier, fitter and stronger for our community and society.
