    iPads could help you leave a smaller carbon footprint. The production of an iPad mini has the smallest amount of carbon emission when compared to an iPad 4, air 13", pro 15", iMac 27", and Mac Pro. Also, iPad minis use much less electricity to run. Also, small tablets can help to reduce your media footprint if you do things like download books onto your iPad instead of having a hard copy.

    This article weighs out the pros and cons of iPads in school. One con would be that most iPads do not support Adobe or Java flash. This prohibits the use of may applications or videos that require a certain plug in. There is also no USB plugs, it is expensive, the potential distraction for students, and that typing is tricky and difficult to grasp.

    iPad sales are surpassing computer sales, and the demand continues to increase. Transition from paper to tablets. There is more emission when producing an iPad than when producing paper but it is balanced from consuming on the same device rather than buying new books over and over again. The disposal of tablets is a little more tricky. E-waste is often sent to other countries.

    This article is about figuring out what is the most environmentally friendly way to present something to a group of people. It is comparing a big projector, small projector, laptop, tablet/iPad, or hanging out sheets of paper. In the end which method you use depends on how many people you are presenting to. In some cases tablets are more energy efficient than a large projector or paper. It all depends on the audience size.
