Introduction
Wibowo and Wells (2016) conducted research to identify how companies are adopting renewable energy sources and the economic benefits of green Cloud. Cloud computing has become popular as more clients require safe storage. Cloud service providers are responsible for providing services while minimizing environmental impact. The researchers reviewed the literature on green Cloud computing at Central Queensland University, Australia. The authors are qualified to write on the topic as they are in the School of Engineering and Technology. The researchers, in 2016, performed the research starting with an introduction background, then the literature review, a discussion of findings, and a conclusion with future direction. The researchers showed that companies could pursue green Cloud computing by considering significant factors like providing dynamic types of energy, multi-tenancy, utilization of servers, and efficiency of data centers.
Summary
The introduction of the paper presents green Cloud computing as a concept, the economic advantage of on-site energy generation, the impact of the location of the data center. In the paper is also the information regarding the costs and environmental sustainability of green technology. The literature review boosts the discussion on the costs of various energy sources, the impact of location, and the sustainability of green Cloud energy. The research showed that companies could achieve economic viability by using greener energy sources. Companies should strive to adopt business processes and practices that are more energy-efficient and sustainable to the environment. A green Cloud computing company has a green strategy in aspects like the location of their data centers, the mix of energy of electricity they use, and the consideration of dynamic provisioning.
Conclusion
The research establishes the possibility of companies pursuing a green Cloud computing technology that is sustainable for the environment and economy. The researchers used a literature review to bring topics for discussion. Wibowo and Wells (2016) considerably found that sustainable green Cloud computing was possible for service providers who had the four elements in mind when setting up such schemes. The research was relevant because it guides companies considering changing to more efficient green Cloud computing strategies. As much as the study presents these critical elements, it needs to discuss them in detail and their contribution toward green Cloud computing. This paper was satisfactory in explaining how green cloud computing can help achieve environmental sustainability. Companies can successfully adopt greener technologies in cloud computing that are both sustainable and economical.

Introduction
Hejri et al. (2022) conducted research on the factors that impact how banks are ready to implement the process of green management. The main purpose for the sturdy was to determine factors affecting the green business management. These authors were all from the Islamic Azad University meaning that they were qualified to write the paper. Different sections were used to conduct the research. The research was conducted in the year 2019 in Tehran, Iran.
Summary
The researchers began this applied research with a theoretical framework concerning the issue of green technology and how it affects banking businesses in Iran. The researchers reviewed all the documents that were relevant to the topic under study. The applied research involved several books and journals to review the theoretical concepts. Further, the authors used a population of experts and professionals who have been in the banking industry for 10 or more years. The population of 14 industry experts in the fields of information technology (IT), management, and engineering was sampled using purposeful snowball techniques. The authors then used the fuzzy DEMATEL method to make decisions based on paired comparisons. Hejri et al. (2022) found that green awareness is the factor that had the highest impact and interaction of 6.314 on other factors. Green operation is the factor that is most affected by others. The mutually interrelated factors are green technology vs. policy, technology vs. strategy, technology vs. governance, technology vs. lifecycle, policy vs. strategy, policy vs. governance.
Conclusion
The research showed that green awareness had the highest interaction and strongest impact. Organizations can increase knowledge and awareness on the environment to increase green behavior. These companies can adopt green behavior by training managers and employees regularly on environmental awareness. The future research for the study encompassed examining the relationship between green business processes and the economy.
Summary Objective 3
Introduction
Arghavani et al. (2019) researched the effects of the urban green space on the gaseous air pollutants in the Metropolis area of Tehran. The paper's authors are recognizable people from higher education institutions in Iran and can comfortably publish their study. The use of predefined or green programs for a long time may lead to a negative impact on the quality of air in cities. The authors investigate the alternation of three gaseous air pollutants concentration by certain green scenarios for development. The study was conducted in Iran in the Tehran Metropolis (TM).
Summary
The authors did not mention the period within which they conducted the study. The authors looked at the different influences of the urban green development programs on air quality in urban Tehran. The authors looked at the influence of the additional vegetative areas near surface deposition velocities and fluxes. The other elements considered were the concentration of pollutants near the surface, alteration in boundary layer height, and the meteorology variables. Th authors use satellite images to determine how planted areas are distributed across the city.
The authors' research led to several results the prevailing wind direction and speed influence the daily concentration of pollutants. The lower boundary's height and buoyancy result in very low vertical mass transport during the daytime. The winds come in from the west over the city at 18:00 UTC, with a high level of pollutants.
Conclusion
The concentration of pollutants is the main factor that influences how the deposition of harmful gases alternates across the metropolitan area of Tehran. Each of the scenarios that were defined impacted the city of Tehran. The authors, thus, should have come up with the best suggestion for an efficient summertime green policy without reporting negative feedback.
