Just realizing how wasteful computing gear can get is a big step. But how do you go about greening your IT?

We've featured tips and whitepapers from others, now we turn the lens on ourselves. The "Putting the Green into IT" eBook comes from the writers of Internet.com, EarthWeb, ServerWatch and our very own Enterprise IT Planet.

Topics covered include Greening Your Data Center; Server Disposal Goes Green; Green Is Hot for Storage Managers; and How Green Is Your Storage. Just the thing you need to read if your IT department has started making energy efficiency and sustainability a priority.

You can enjoy a taste of what the eBook offers here (PDF). You'll have to register with Internet.com for the full eBook, however (it's free).

And now may be a good time, too. That is, if you've been eyeing an iPod Touch, which Internet.com is awarding to a lucky winner.
