They use usually do green computing in their office like the electronic automaticly shutdown or be power saving mode when it is not used to press their maintenance budget . When they want to hire a officer we can just submit our cv through the internet no need to print and give we just submit and waiting for call. That’s why now in many tech company their workers working flexible no need to have their office hour. And no need very big space to their workers.
