Your company chooses to privilege the environmental drivers while introducing Green IT.What is an example of an environmental driver?

Question

Options

• AReducing energy costs
• BReducing equipment costs
• CReducing e-waste

• A
  8% (2)
• B
  4% (1)
• C
  88% (22)

Explanation

Reducing e-waste (C) is the correct answer because it directly addresses an environmental concern - keeping hazardous materials like lead, mercury, and cadmium out of landfills and ecosystems, with no financial motivation required.

Options A and B are both economic drivers, not environmental ones: reducing energy costs saves money on electricity bills, and reducing equipment costs lowers capital expenditure - both are business/financial incentives that happen to overlap with sustainability goals, but their primary motivation is cost savings rather than ecological impact.

Memory tip: Ask yourself "Who benefits?" - if the answer is the company's budget, it's an economic driver; if the answer is the planet, it's an environmental driver. E-waste reduction protects ecosystems regardless of cost savings, making it purely environmental.
