Overcharging:Being an IT student, possessing gadgets is very normal,we people have the habit of overcharging electronics which causes loss of energy. Realizing that this habit belongs to me too, i will keep a good note that my electronics are not overcharged.

Electronic waste: it is a fact that our computers and electronics are rich in minerals, chemicals and toxics like antimony, arsenic, boron, phosphor, nitric acid, hydrofluoric acid and hydrogen fluoride to name some few. Thus these electronic when thrown anywhere causes severe deterioration of soil, air as well as water resources and finally to human health. Thus i will always send my gadgets to the recycle center if they are of no use to me rather throwing them haphazardly.

Smart purchasing: The flourishing technology has brought up many energy efficient gadgets on the market with proper amount of electricity they use ad utilize electricity more efficiently. Thus proper selection and purchasing of gadgets is important.

Thus, we being IT students should me more responsible to the factors for saving the environment. We should also inform others about the hazards caused by electronics and
