The term “green computing” has become widely popular and many computer users are taking an environmentally friendly action that maximizes the usefulness of computing resources while minimizing the negative impact to the environment during their operational use. This observation directed the researcher to conduct a study on green computing. This study attempted to determine the level of green computing knowledge and practices of students. The respondents of the study were undergraduate students of Pangasinan State University – Bayambang Campus. The study used the descriptive-survey method of research to analyze, interpret and report the present status on the level of green computing knowledge and practices of students. Research data were collected using the researcher-made questionnaire. Percentages, mean, and weighted mean were employed to analyze the research data. The study found out that undergraduate students have a moderate level of knowledge on green computing and moderately practiced green computing practices that are friendly to the environment.
